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.
