ASIN(3) Linux Programmer's Manual ASIN(3)

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.

CONFORMING TO

     C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
     The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
