CSQRT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual CSQRT(3) NAME csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl - complex square root SYNOPSIS #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 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 first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
