fea681da | 67 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
5600f73a | 68 | These functions calculate the principal value of the arc sine of |
022671eb MK |
69 | .IR x ; |
70 | that is the value whose sine is | |
71 | .IR x . | |
47297adb | 72 | .SH RETURN VALUE |
a6d7b49b MK |
73 | On success, these functions return the principal value of the arc sine of |
74 | .IR x | |
75 | in radians; the return value is in the range [\-pi/2,\ pi/2]. | |
76 | ||
77 | If | |
78 | .I x | |
79 | is a NaN, a NaN is returned. | |
80 | ||
81 | If | |
82 | .I x | |
83 | is +0 (\-0), | |
84 | +0 (\-0) is returned. | |
