NAME

6       casin, casinf, casinl - complex arc sine
7

LIBRARY

9       Math library (libm, -lm)
10

SYNOPSIS

12       #include <complex.h>
13
14       double complex casin(double complex z);
15       float complex casinf(float complex z);
16       long double complex casinl(long double complex z);
17

DESCRIPTION

19       These  functions calculate the complex arc sine of z.  If y = casin(z),
20       then z = csin(y).  The real  part  of  y  is  chosen  in  the  interval
21       [-pi/2,pi/2].
22
23       One has:
24
25           casin(z) = -i clog(iz + csqrt(1 - z * z))
