CASIN(3P)                  POSIX Programmer's Manual                 CASIN(3P)



NAME
       casin, casinf - complex arc sine functions

SYNOPSIS
       #include <complex.h>

       double complex casin(double complex z);
       float complex casinf(float complex z);


DESCRIPTION
       These  functions  compute  the  complex arc sine of z, with branch cuts
       outside the interval [-1, +1] along the real axis.

RETURN VALUE
       These functions return the complex arc sine value, in the  range  of  a
       strip  mathematically  unbounded  along  the  imaginary axis and in the
       interval [-pi/2, +pi/2] along the real axis.

ERRORS
