acos (arc cosine) is one of several extended math command available in [Tclx].
It is a procedure which provides command access to the [expr] math function, taking the same arguments as the expr function and taking expressions as arguments as well.

One good use for [acos] is to get the constant Pi:

 % expr acos(-1)
 3.141592653589793
 % tcl::mathfunc::acos -1
 3.141592653589793
