cacos(3)                   Library Functions Manual                   cacos(3)

NAME
       cacos, cacosf, cacosl - complex arc cosine

LIBRARY
       Math library (libm, -lm)

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
       These  functions  calculate  the  complex  arc cosine of z.  If y = ca-
       cos(z), then z = ccos(y).  The real part of y is chosen in the interval
       [0,pi].

       One has:

           cacos(z) = -i * clog(z + i * csqrt(1 - z * z))

       For  an  explanation  of  the  terms  used  in  this  section,  see at-
