csqrt(3) Library Functions Manual csqrt(3)
NAME
csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl - complex square root
LIBRARY
Math library (libm, -lm)
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
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
These functions were added in glibc 2.1.
