+.SH NAME

+.SH SYNOPSIS

+double asin(double \fIx\fP);
+float asinf(float \fIx\fP);
+long double asinl(long double \fIx\fP);

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+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\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+These functions shall compute the principal value of the arc sine of
+their argument
+.IR x .
+The value of
+.IR x
+should be in the range [\-1,1].
+.P
+An application wishing to check for error situations should set
+.IR errno
+to zero and call
+.IR feclearexcept (FE_ALL_EXCEPT)
+before calling these functions. On return, if
+.IR errno
+is non-zero or \fIfetestexcept\fR(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO |
+FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the arc sine
+of
+.IR x ,
+in the range [\-\(*p/2,\(*p/2] radians.
+.P
+For finite values of
+.IR x
+not in the range [\-1,1], a domain error shall occur, and
+either a NaN (if supported), or
+an implementation-defined value shall be returned.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is \(+-0,
+.IR x
+shall be returned.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is \(+-Inf, a domain error shall occur, and a NaN shall be returned.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is subnormal, a range error may occur
+.br
+and
+.IR x
+should be returned.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is not returned,
+\fIasin\fR(),
+\fIasinf\fR(),
+and
+\fIasinl\fR()
+shall return an implementation-defined value no greater in magnitude
+than DBL_MIN, FLT_MIN, and LDBL_MIN, respectively.
+.SH ERRORS
+These functions shall fail if:
+.IP "Domain\ Error" 12
+The
+.IR x
+argument is finite and is not in the range [\-1,1],
+or is \(+-Inf.
+.RS 12
+.P
+If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERRNO) is
+non-zero, then
+.IR errno
+shall be set to
+.BR [EDOM] .
+If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
+non-zero, then the invalid floating-point exception shall be raised.
+.RE
+.P
+These functions may fail if:
+.IP "Range\ Error" 12
+The value of
+.IR x
+is subnormal.
+.RS 12
+.P
+If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERRNO) is
+non-zero, then
+.IR errno
+shall be set to
+.BR [ERANGE] .
+If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
+non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception shall be raised.
+.RE
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+On error, the expressions (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERRNO) and
+(\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each
+other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.
+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
