NAME

csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl - complex square root functions

SYNOPSIS

#include <complex.h>

double complex csqrt(double complex z);
float complex csqrtf(float complex z);
long double complex csqrtl(long double complex z);


DESCRIPTION

^[CX] The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

These functions shall compute the complex square root of z, with a branch cut along the negative real axis.

RETURN VALUE

These functions shall return the complex square root value, in the range of the right half-plane (including the imaginary axis).
