NAME

       csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl - complex square root

LIBRARY

       Math library (libm, -lm)

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

       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.)
