CSQRT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual CSQRT(3)NAMEcsqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl - complex square rootSYNOPSIS#include <complex.h> double complex csqrt(double complex z); float complex csqrtf(float complex z); long double complex csqrtl(long double complex z); Link with -lm.DESCRIPTIONCalculate the square root of a given complex number, with nonnegative real part, and with a branch cut along the negative real axis. (That means that csqrt(-1+eps*I) will be close to I while csqrt(-1-eps*I) will be close to -I, if eps is a small positive real number.)VERSIONSThese functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.CONFORMING TOC99.SEE ALSOcabs(3), cexp(3), complex(7)COLOPHONThis page is part of release 3.53 of the Linux man-pages project.
