This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface

Application Usage

       None.

Description

       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
       POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       These functions shall compute the real cube root of their argument x.

Errors

       No errors are defined.

       Thefollowingsectionsareinformative.

Examples

       None.

Future Directions

       None.

Name

       cbrt, cbrtf, cbrtl — cube root functions

Prolog

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.

Rationale

       For  some applications, a true cube root function, which returns negative results for negative arguments,
       is more appropriate than pow(x, 1.0/3.0), which returns a NaN for x less than 0.

Return Value

       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the cube root of x.

       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

       If x is ±0 or ±Inf, x shall be returned.
