.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.BR asin ()
|
||||
function calculates the arc sine of \fIx\fP; that is
|
||||
the value whose sine is \fIx\fP.
|
||||
If \fIx\fP falls outside the range
|
||||
\-1 to 1,
|
||||
.BR asin ()
|
||||
fails and \fIerrno\fP is set.
|
||||
function calculates the principal value of the arc sine of \fIx\fP;
|
||||
that is the value whose sine is \fIx\fP.
|
||||
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
||||
The
|
||||
.BR asin ()
|
||||
function returns the arc sine in radians and the
|
||||
value is mathematically defined to be between \-PI/2 and PI/2
|
||||
(inclusive).
|
||||
On success, these functions return the principal value of the arc sine of
|
||||
.IR x
|
||||
in radians; the return value is in the range [\-pi/2,\ pi/2].
|
||||
|
||||
If
|
||||
.I x
|
||||
is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
|
||||
|
||||
If
|
||||
.I x
|
||||
is +0 (\-0),
|
||||
+0 (\-0) is returned.
|
||||
|
||||
If
|
||||
.I x
|
||||
outside the range [\-1,\ 1],
|
||||
a "domain error" occurs,
|
||||
and a NaN is returned.
|
||||
.\"
|
||||
.\" POSIX.1-2001 documents an optional range error for subnormal x;
|
||||
.\" glibc 2.8 does not do this.
|
||||
.SH ERRORS
|
||||
See
|
||||
.BR math_error (7)
|
||||
for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
|
||||
when calling these functions.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The following errors can occur:
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B EDOM
|
||||
\fIx\fP is out of range.
|
||||
Domain error: \fIx\fP is outside the range [\-1,\ 1]
|
||||
.I errno
|
||||
is set to
|
||||
.BR EDOM .
|
||||
An invalid floating-point exception
|
||||
.RB ( FE_INVALID )
|
||||
is raised.
|
||||
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
|
||||
SVr4, POSIX.1-2001, 4.3BSD, C89, C99.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.I float
|
||||
and
|
||||
.I "long double"
|
||||
variants are C99 requirements.
|
||||
C99, POSIX.1-2001.
|
||||
The variant returning
|
||||
.I double
|
||||
also conforms to
|
||||
SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
