+.SH NAME
+asin, asinf, asinl \- arc sine function
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <math.h>
+.br
+.sp
+double asin(double\fP \fIx\fP\fB);
+.br
+float asinf(float\fP \fIx\fP\fB);
+.br
+long double asinl(long double\fP \fIx\fP\fB);

+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+These functions shall compute the principal value of the arc sine
+of their argument \fIx\fP. The value of \fIx\fP should be in
+the range [-1,1].
+.LP
+An application wishing to check for error situations should set \fIerrno\fP
+to zero and call
+\fIfeclearexcept\fP(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions.
+On return, if \fIerrno\fP is non-zero or
+\fIfetestexcept\fP(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW)
+is non-zero, an error has occurred.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the arc sine
+of \fIx\fP, in the range [-pi/2,pi/2] radians.
+.LP
+For finite values of \fIx\fP 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.
+.LP
+If
+\fIx\fP is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
+.LP
+If \fIx\fP is \(+-0, \fIx\fP shall be returned.
+.LP
+If \fIx\fP is \(+-Inf, a domain error shall occur, and either a NaN
+(if supported), or an implementation-defined value
+shall be returned.
+.LP
+If \fIx\fP is subnormal, a range error may occur and \fIx\fP should
+be returned. 
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+These functions shall fail if:
+.TP 7
+Domain\ Error
+The \fIx\fP argument is finite and is not in the range [-1,1],  or
+is \(+-Inf.  
+.LP
+If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
+then \fIerrno\fP shall be set to [EDOM]. If the
+integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero,
+then the invalid floating-point exception shall be
+raised.
+.sp
+.LP
+These functions may fail if:
+.TP 7
+Range\ Error
+The value of \fIx\fP is subnormal. 
+.LP
+If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
+then \fIerrno\fP shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the
+integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero,
+then the underflow floating-point exception shall be
+raised. 
+.sp
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling
+& MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of
+each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
