.SH NAME
cproj, cprojf, cprojl \- project into Riemann Sphere
.SH LIBRARY
Math library
.RI ( libm ", " \-lm )
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <complex.h>
.PP
.BI "double complex cproj(double complex " z ");"
.BI "float complex cprojf(float complex " z ");"
.BI "long double complex cprojl(long double complex " z ");"

.SH 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
.I z
projects to
.I z
itself.
Every complex infinite value is projected to a single infinite value,
namely to positive infinity on the real axis.
.SH VERSIONS
These functions were added in glibc 2.1.

.SH STANDARDS
C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
.SH NOTES
In glibc 2.11 and earlier, the implementation does something different
(a
.I stereographic
projection onto a Riemann Sphere).
