cbrt(3)                 Library Functions Manual                 cbrt(3)

NAME         top

       cbrt, cbrtf, cbrtl - cube root function

LIBRARY         top

       Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <math.h>

       double cbrt(double x);
       float cbrtf(float x);
       long double cbrtl(long double x);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
   feature_test_macros(7)):

       cbrtf(), cbrtl():
           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
               || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions return the (real) cube root of x.  This function
       cannot fail; every representable real value has a representable
       real cube root.

RETURN VALUE         top

       These functions return the cube root of x.

       If x is +0, -0, positive infinity, negative infinity, or NaN, x
       is returned.

ERRORS         top

       No errors occur.
