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

    NAME
           asin - arc sine function

    SYNOPSIS
           #include <math.h>

           double asin(double x);

    DESCRIPTION
           The  asin() function calculates the arc sine of x; that is
           the value whose sine is x.  If x falls outside  the  range
           -1 to 1, asin() fails and errno is set.

    RETURN VALUE
           The  asin()  function  returns the arc sine in radians and
           the value is mathematically defined to  be  between  -PI/2
           and PI/2 (inclusive).

    ERRORS
           EDOM   x is out of range.

    CONFORMING TO
