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

       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).
