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

casin, casinf, casinl - complex arc sine

#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.

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))

These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
