SYNOPSIS


.In math.h double asin "double x" float asinf "float x"

DESCRIPTION

The asin and the asinf functions compute the principal value of the arc sine of x. A domain error occurs for arguments not in the range [-1, +1]. For a discussion of error due to roundoff, see math(3).

RETURN VALUES

The asin and the asinf functions return the arc sine in the range
.Bk -words [-pi/2, +pi/2]
.Ek radians. If:

| x | > 1

asin x raises an invalid exception and returns an NaN.
