       These functions calculate the principal value of the arc sine of x; that is the value whose sine is x.

       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred  when  calling  these
       functions.

       The following errors can occur:

       Domain error: x is outside the range [-1, 1]
              errno is set to EDOM.  An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.

       C99, POSIX.1-2001.

       The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.

       asin, asinf, asinl - arc sine function

       On  success, these functions return the principal value of the arc sine of x in radians; the return value
       is in the range [-pi/2, pi/2].

       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

       If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.

       If x is outside the range [-1, 1], a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
