NAME
       cacos, cacosf, cacosl - complex arc cosine

SYNOPSIS
       #include <complex.h>

       double complex cacos(double complex z);
       float complex cacosf(float complex z);
       long double complex cacosl(long double complex z);

       Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION
       These  functions  calculate  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 + i * csqrt(1 - z * z))

VERSIONS
       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.

	   double complex z, c, f;
	   double complex i = I;

	   if (argc != 3) {
	       fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s <real> <imag>
", argv[0]);
	       exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
	   }

	   z = atof(argv[1]) + atof(argv[2]) * I;

	   c = cacos(z);

	   printf("cacos() = %6.3f %6.3f*i
", creal(c), cimag(c));

	   f = -i * clog(z + i * csqrt(1 - z * z));

	   printf("formula = %6.3f %6.3f*i
", creal(f), cimag(f));

	   exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
       }
