NAME

       cacos, cacosf, cacosl - complex arc cosine functions

SYNOPSIS

       #include <complex.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       These  functions  shall  compute the complex arc cosine of z, with branch cuts outside the
       interval [-1, +1] along the real axis.

RETURN VALUE

       These functions shall return the complex arc  cosine  value,  in  the  range  of  a  strip
       mathematically  unbounded  along  the imaginary axis and in the interval [0, pi] along the
       real axis.
