.SH NAME
cacos, cacosf, cacosl \- complex arc cosine
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <complex.h>
.sp
.BI "double complex cacos(double complex " z );
.br

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR cacos ()
function calculates the complex acos().
If y = cacos(z), then z = ccos(y).
The real part of y is chosen in the interval [0,pi].
.LP
One has cacos(z) = \-i clog(z + csqrt(z * z \- 1)).
