      F_TYPE asind (F_TYPE x)

1 - Description

    asin() computes the principal value of the arc sine of x in the
    interval [-pi/2,pi/2] radians for x in the interval [-1,1].

    asind() computes the principal value of the arc sine of x in the
    interval [-90,90] degrees for x in the interval [-1,1].
