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.
