CSQRT(3)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 CSQRT(3)

NAME         top

       csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl - complex square root

SYNOPSIS         top

       #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.

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions calculate the complex square root of z, 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.)

VERSIONS         top

       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
