NAME
asin, asinf, asinl - arc sine function
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double asin(double x);
float asinf(float x);
long double asinl(long double x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
asinf(), asinl():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
|| /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
These functions calculate the principal value of the arc sine of x; that is the value whose sine is x.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the principal value of the arc sine of x in radians; the return value is in the range [-pi/2, pi/2]. If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned. If x is outside the range [-1, 1], a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
ERRORS
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error
has occurred when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
Domain error: x is outside the range [-1, 1]
errno is set to EDOM. An invalid floating-point exception
(FE_INVALID) is raised.
