+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions calculate the arc cosine of
+.IR x ;
+that is
+the value whose cosine is
+.IR x .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, these functions return the arc cosine of
+.I x
+in radians; the return value is in the range [0,\ pi].
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is +1,
++0 is returned.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is positive infinity or negative infinity,
+a domain error occurs,
+and a NaN is returned.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is outside the range [\-1,\ 1],
+a domain error occurs,
+and a NaN is returned.
+.SH ERRORS
+See
+.BR math_error (7)
+for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
+when calling these functions.
+.P
+The following errors can occur:
+.TP
+Domain error: \fIx\fP is outside the range [\-1,\ 1]
+.I errno
+is set to
+.BR EDOM .
+An invalid floating-point exception
+.RB ( FE_INVALID )
+is raised.
