ASIN(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ASIN(3)NAME
asin, asinf, asinl — arc sine functions
LIBRARY
Math Library (libm, -lm)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
asin(double x);
float
asinf(float x);
long double
asinl(long double x);
DESCRIPTION
The asin(), asinf(), and asinl() functions compute the principal value of
the arc sine of x.
RETURN VALUES
These functions return the arc sine in the range [-π/2, +π/2] radians.
If:
|x| > 1
asin(x) raises an invalid exception and returns an NaN.

The asin(), asinf(), and asinl() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999
(“ISO C99”).
