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

NAME         top

       casin, casinf, casinl - complex arc sine

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <complex.h>
       double complex casin(double complex z);
       float complex casinf(float complex z);
       long double complex casinl(long double complex z);
       Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions calculate the complex arc sine of z.  If
       y = casin(z), then z = csin(y).  The real part of y is chosen in the
       interval [-pi/2,pi/2].
       One has:
           casin(z) = -i clog(iz + csqrt(1 - z * z))

VERSIONS         top

       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
