NAME

13       cabs, cabsf, cabsl — return a complex absolute value
14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <complex.h>
17
18       double cabs(double complex z);
19       float cabsf(float complex z);
20       long double cabsl(long double complex z);

DESCRIPTION

23       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
24       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
25       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1‐2008
26       defers to the ISO C standard.
27
28       These  functions  shall compute the complex absolute value (also called
29       norm, modulus, or magnitude) of z.

RETURN VALUE

32       These functions shall return the complex absolute value.
