NAME

6       csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl - complex square root

LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS

12       #include <complex.h>
13
14       double complex csqrt(double complex z);
15       float complex csqrtf(float complex z);
16       long double complex csqrtl(long double complex z);
17

DESCRIPTION

19       These  functions  calculate the complex square root of z, with a branch
20       cut along the negative real axis.   (That  means  that  csqrt(-1+eps*I)
21       will be close to I while csqrt(-1-eps*I) will be close to -I, if eps is
22       a small positive real number.)
