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
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).
