DESCRIPTION

The cacos() function calculates the complex arc cosine of z. If y = cacos(z), then z = ccos(y). The real part of y is chosen in the interval [0,pi].

One has:

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

VERSIONS

These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.

CONFORMING TO
