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

NAME         top

       cacos, cacosf, cacosl - complex arc cosine

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <complex.h>
       double complex cacos(double complex z);
       float complex cacosf(float complex z);
       long double complex cacosl(long double complex z);
       Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions calculate the complex arc cosine of z.  If
       y = cacos(z), then z = ccos(y).  The real part of y is chosen in the
       interval [0,pi].
       One has:
           cacos(z) = -i * clog(z + i * csqrt(1 - z * z))

VERSIONS         top

       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
