csin, csinf, csinl — complex sine functions
#include <complex.h>
double complex csin(double complex z);
float complex csinf(float complex z);
long double complex csinl(long double complex z);
[CX] 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 POSIX.1-2024 defers to the ISO C standard.These functions shall compute the complex sine of z.
These functions shall return the complex sine value.
[MXC] csin(conj(iz)), csinf(conjf(iz)), and csinl(conjl(iz)) shall return exactly the same value as conj(csin(iz)), conjf(csinf(iz)), and conjl(csinl(iz)), respectively, and csin(-iz), csinf(-iz), and csinl(-iz) shall return exactly the same value as -csin(iz), -csinf(iz), and -csinl(iz), respectively, including for the special values of iz below.
If iz is +0 + i0, -i (+0 + i0) shall be returned.
If iz is +0 + iInf, -i (±0 + iNaN) shall be returned and the invalid floating-point exception shall be raised; the sign of the imaginary part of the result is unspecified.
If iz is +0 + iNaN, -i (±0 + iNaN) shall be returned; the sign of the imaginary part of the result is unspecified.
If iz is x + iInf where x is positive and finite, -i (NaN + iNaN) shall be returned and the invalid floating-point exception shall be raised.
If iz is x + iNaN where x is non-zero and finite, -i (NaN + iNaN) shall be returned and the invalid floating-point exception may be raised.
If iz is +Inf + i0, -i (+Inf + i0) shall be returned.
If iz is +Inf + iy where y is positive and finite, -iInf (cos(y) + isin(y)) shall be returned.
If iz is +Inf + iInf, -i (±Inf + iNaN) shall be returned and the invalid floating-point exception shall be raised; the sign of the imaginary part of the result is unspecified.
If iz is +Inf + iNaN, -i (±Inf + iNaN) shall be returned; the sign of the imaginary part of the result is unspecified.
If iz is NaN + i0, -i (NaN + i0) shall be returned.
If iz is NaN + iy where y is any non-zero number, -i (NaN + iNaN) shall be returned and the invalid floating-point exception may be raised.
If iz is NaN + iNaN, -i (NaN + iNaN) shall be returned.
No errors are defined.
None.
None.
The MXC special cases for csin() are derived from those for csinh() by applying the formula csin(z) = -icsinh(iz).
None.

First released in Issue 6. Derived from the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard.
Austin Group Defect 1302 is applied, aligning these functions with the ISO/IEC 9899:2018 standard.
