asin, asinf, asinl − arc sine function
#include <math.h>
double
asin(double x);
float asinf(float x);
long double asinl(long double x);
Link with −lm.

The asin() function calculates the principal value of the arc sine of x; that is the value whose sine is x.
On success, these functions return the principal value of the arc sine of x in radians; the return value is in the range [−pi/2, pi/2].
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is +0 (−0), +0 (−0) is returned.
If x is outside the range [−1, 1], a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following
errors can occur:
Domain error: x is outside the range
[−1, 1]
errno is set to EDOM. An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
C99, POSIX.1-2001. The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
