casin(3M)

DESCRIPTION

These functions are available only for IA-64.

casin() returns the complex arcsine of z, in the range of a strip mathematically unbounded along the imaginary axis and in the interval [-Pi/2,+Pi/2] along the real axis. Branch cuts are outside the interval [-1,+1] along the real axis.

casinf() is a float complex version of casin(); it takes a float complex argument and returns a float complex result.

USAGE

To use these functions, compile with the default -Ae option. Make sure your program includes <complex.h>. Link in the math library by specifying -lm on the compiler or linker command line.

RETURN VALUES

casin(conj(z)) = conj(casin(z)) and casinh is an odd function.

casin(+0+i0) returns 0+i0.

casin(Inf+iy) returns Pi/2+iInf for positive-signed finite y.

casin(NaN+iy) returns NaN+iNaN and may raise the invalid exception for finite y.

casin(x+iInf) returns +0+iInf for positive-signed finite x.

casin(+Inf+iInf) returns Pi/4+iInf.

casin(NaN+iInf) returns NaN+iInf.

casin(+0+iNaN) returns +0+iNaN.

casin(x+iNaN) returns NaN+iNaN and may raise the invalid exception for finite nonzero x.

casin(Inf+iNaN) returns NaN±iInf (where the sign of the imaginary part of the result is unspecified).

casin(NaN+iNaN) returns NaN+iNaN.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.
