fea681da | 63 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
5600f73a | 64 | These functions calculate the arc cosine of |
022671eb MK |
65 | .IR x ; |
66 | that is | |
67 | the value whose cosine is | |
68 | .IR x . | |
47297adb | 69 | .SH RETURN VALUE |
e279ffc3 MK |
70 | On success, these functions return the arc cosine of |
71 | .IR x | |
72 | in radians; the return value is in the range [0,\ pi]. | |
847e0d88 | 73 | .PP |
e279ffc3 MK |
74 | If |
75 | .I x | |
76 | is a NaN, a NaN is returned. | |
847e0d88 | 77 | .PP |
e279ffc3 MK |
78 | If |
79 | .I x | |
80 | is +1, | |
81 | +0 is returned. | |
847e0d88 | 82 | .PP |
e279ffc3 MK |
83 | If |
84 | .I x | |
85 | is positive infinity or negative infinity, | |
efe294cb | 86 | a domain error occurs, |
e279ffc3 | 87 | and a NaN is returned. |
847e0d88 | 88 | .PP |
e279ffc3 MK |
89 | If |
90 | .I x | |
91 | is outside the range [\-1,\ 1], | |
efe294cb | 92 | a domain error occurs, |
e279ffc3 | 93 | and a NaN is returned. |

103 | .I errno | |
104 | is set to | |
105 | .BR EDOM . | |
106 | An invalid floating-point exception | |
107 | .RB ( FE_INVALID ) | |
108 | is raised. | |
