NAME
casin, casinf, casinl - complex arc sine functions

SYNOPSIS

#include <complex.h>

double complex casin(double complex z);

long double complex casinl(long double complex z);

DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUE

These functions shall return the complex arc sine value, in the range of a strip mathematically unbounded along the imaginary axis and in the interval [-pi/2, +pi/2] along the real axis.
