SYNOPSIS

18
19       sqrtf(), sqrtl():
20           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
21               || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

25       These functions return the nonnegative square root of x.
26

RETURN VALUE

28       On success, these functions return the square root of x.
29
30       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
31
32       If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
33
34       If x is positive infinity, positive infinity is returned.
35
36       If x is less than -0, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
37

ERRORS

39       See  math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error
40       has occurred when calling these functions.
41
42       The following errors can occur:
43
44       Domain error: x less than -0
45              errno is set  to  EDOM.   An  invalid  floating-point  exception
46              (FE_INVALID) is raised.
