## Usage
```javascript
var ellipk = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/ellipk' );
```
#### ellipk( m )
Computes the [complete elliptic integral of the first kind][elliptic-integral].
```javascript
var v = ellipk( 0.5 );
// returns ~1.854
v = ellipk( -1.0 );
// returns ~1.311
v = ellipk( 2.0 );
// returns NaN
v = ellipk( Infinity );
// returns NaN
v = ellipk( -Infinity );
// returns NaN
v = ellipk( NaN );
// returns NaN
```
