NAME
       al_fixasin - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS
	      #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

	      al_fixed al_fixasin(al_fixed x);

DESCRIPTION
       This  function  finds the inverse sine of a value using a lookup table.
       The input value must be a fixed	point  value.	The  inverse  sine  is
       defined	only in the domain from -1 to 1.  Outside of this input range,
       the function will set Allegro's errno to EDOM and return zero.

       Example:

		  float angle;
		  al_fixed val;

		  /* Sets `val' to a right binary angle (64). */
		  val = al_fixasin(al_itofix(1));

		  /* Sets `angle' to 0.2405. */
		  angle = al_fixtof(al_fixmul(al_fixasin(al_ftofix(0.238)), al_fixtorad_r));

		  /* This will trigger the assert. */
		  val = al_fixasin(al_ftofix(-1.09));
		  assert(!al_get_errno());

RETURN VALUE
       Returns the inverse sine of a fixed  point  value,  measured  as	 fixed
       point  binary  format angle, or zero if the input was out of the range.
       All return values of this function will be in the range -64 to 64.
