fea681da | 65 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
60a90ecd MK |
66 | The |
67 | .BR acos () | |
68 | function calculates the arc cosine of \fIx\fP; that is | |
1c44bd5b | 69 | the value whose cosine is \fIx\fP. |
47297adb | 70 | .SH RETURN VALUE |
e279ffc3 MK |
71 | On success, these functions return the arc cosine of |
72 | .IR x | |
73 | in radians; the return value is in the range [0,\ pi]. | |
74 | ||
75 | If | |
76 | .I x | |
77 | is a NaN, a NaN is returned. | |
78 | ||
79 | If | |
80 | .I x | |
81 | is +1, | |
82 | +0 is returned. | |
83 | ||
84 | If | |
85 | .I x | |
86 | is positive infinity or negative infinity, | |
efe294cb | 87 | a domain error occurs, |
e279ffc3 MK |
88 | and a NaN is returned. |
89 | ||
90 | If | |
91 | .I x | |
92 | is outside the range [\-1,\ 1], | |
efe294cb | 93 | a domain error occurs, |
e279ffc3 | 94 | and a NaN is returned. |
fea681da | 95 | .SH ERRORS |
e279ffc3 MK |
96 | See |
97 | .BR math_error (7) | |
98 | for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred | |
99 | when calling these functions. | |
100 | .PP | |
101 | The following errors can occur: | |
fea681da | 102 | .TP |
e279ffc3 MK |
103 | Domain error: \fIx\fP is outside the range [\-1,\ 1] |
104 | .I errno | |
105 | is set to | |
106 | .BR EDOM . | |
107 | An invalid floating-point exception | |
108 | .RB ( FE_INVALID ) | |
109 | is raised. | |
47297adb | 110 | .SH CONFORMING TO |
e279ffc3 MK |
111 | C99, POSIX.1-2001. |
112 | The variant returning | |
113 | .I double | |
114 | also conforms to | |
115 | SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89. | |
