Description
These functions project a point in the plane onto the surface of a Riemann Sphere, the one-point
compactification of the complex plane. Each finite point z projects to z itself. Every complex infinite
value is projected to a single infinite value, namely to positive infinity on the real axis.
History
glibc 2.1. C99, POSIX.1-2001.
In glibc 2.11 and earlier, the implementation does something different (a stereographic projection onto a
Riemann Sphere).
