.SH NAME
csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl \- complex square root
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <complex.h>
.PP
.BI "double complex csqrt(double complex " z ");"
.br
.BI "float complex csqrtf(float complex " z ");"
.br
.BI "long double complex csqrtl(long double complex " z ");"
.PP
Link with \fI\-lm\fP.
.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions calculate the complex square root of
.IR z ,
with a branch cut along the negative real axis.
(That means that \fIcsqrt(\-1+eps*I)\fP will be close to I while
\fIcsqrt(\-1\-eps*I)\fP will be close to \-I, \fIif eps\fP is a small positive
real number.)
.SH VERSIONS
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
