CPROJ(3) Linux Programmer's Manual CPROJ(3)
NAME
cproj, cprojf, cprojl - project into Riemann Sphere
SYNOPSIS
#include <complex.h>
double complex cproj(double complex z);
float complex cprojf(float complex z);
long double complex cprojl(long double complex z);
Link with -lm.
DESCRIPTION
These functions project a point in the plane onto the surface of a Riemann Sphere, the one-point compactification of the complex plane. Each finite point z
projects to z itself. Every complex infinite value is projected to a single infinite value, namely to positive infinity on the real axis.
VERSIONS
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.

CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
NOTES
In glibc 2.11 and earlier, the implementation does something different (a stereographic projection onto a Riemann Sphere).
