NAME
     asin, asinf, asinl	-- arc sine functions

LIBRARY

     #include <math.h>

     double
     asin(double x);

     float
     asinf(float x);

     long double
     asinl(long	double x);

DESCRIPTION
     The asin(), asinf(), and asinl() functions	compute	the principal value of
     the arc sine of x.

RETURN VALUES
     These functions return the	arc sine in the	range [-pi/2, +pi/2] radians.
     If:

	   |x| > 1

     asin(x) raises an invalid exception and returns an	NaN.

SEE ALSO
     acos(3), atan(3), atan2(3), cos(3), cosh(3), fenv(3), math(3), sin(3),
     sinh(3), tan(3), tanh(3)
