casin(3) Library Functions Manualcasin(3)casin, casinf, casinl - complex arc sine
Math library (libm,-lm)
#include <complex.h>double complex casin(double complexz);float complex casinf(float complexz);long double complex casinl(long double complexz);
These functions calculate the complex arc sine ofz. Ify = casin(z), thenz = csin(y). The real part ofy is chosen in the interval [-pi/2,pi/2]. One has: casin(z) = -i clog(iz + csqrt(1 - z * z))
