NAME
csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl - complex square root functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <complex.h>
double complex csqrt(double complex z);
float complex csqrtf(float complex z);
long double complex csqrtl(long double complex z);
DESCRIPTION
[CX] ![[Option Start]](../images/opt-start.gif)
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the
requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 defers to
the ISO C standard.
![[Option End]](../images/opt-end.gif)
These functions shall compute the complex square root of z, with a branch cut along the negative real axis.
RETURN VALUE
These functions shall return the complex square root value, in the range of the right half-plane (including the imaginary
axis).
ERRORS

The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
