NAME

cacos, cacosf, cacosl - complex arc cosine functions

SYNOPSIS

#include <complex.h>

double complex cacos(double complex z);
float complex cacosf(float complex z);
long double complex cacosl(long double complex z);

DESCRIPTION

[CX] [Option Start] The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 defers to the ISO C standard. [Option End]

These functions shall compute the complex arc cosine of z, with branch cuts outside the interval [-1, +1] along the real axis.

RETURN VALUE

These functions shall return the complex arc cosine value, in the range of a strip mathematically unbounded along the imaginary axis and in the interval [0, ] along the real axis.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.

The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

None.

APPLICATION USAGE

None.

RATIONALE

None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

None.
