NAME

       cbrt, cbrtf, cbrtl - cube root functions

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
       #include <math.h>

       double cbrt(double x);

       float cbrtf(float x);

       long double cbrtl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

       These functions compute the real cube root of their argument x.

RETURN VALUES

       On successful completion, these functions return the cube root of x.

       If x is NaN, a NaN is returned.

       If x is +-0 or +-Inf, x is returned.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

NAME

     cbrt, cbrtf, cbrtl, sqrt, sqrtf, sqrtl -- cube root and square root functions

LIBRARY

     Math Library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <math.h>

     double
     cbrt(double x);

     float
     cbrtf(float x);

     long double
     cbrtl(long double x);

     double
     sqrt(double x);

     float
     sqrtf(float x);

     long double
     sqrtl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

     The cbrt(), cbrtf(), and cbrtl() functions compute the cube root of x.

     The sqrt(), sqrtf(), and sqrtl() functions compute the non-negative square root of x.

RETURN VALUES

     The cbrt(), cbrtf(), and cbrtl() functions return the requested cube root.  The sqrt(), sqrtf(), and sqrtl() functions return the requested
     square root unless an error occurs.  An attempt to take the sqrt() of negative x raises an invalid exception and causes an NaN to be returned
     (except that the square root of -0 is valid and equal to -0.)

SEE ALSO

     fenv(3), math(3)

STANDARDS

     The cbrt(), cbrtf(), cbrtl(), sqrt(), sqrtf(), and sqrtl() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'').

HISTORY

     The cbrt() function appeared in 4.3BSD.  The sqrtl() function appeared in FreeBSD 8.0.  The cbrtl() function appeared in FreeBSD 9.0.
