+.SH 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.

+.SH NAME
+cbrt,
+cbrtf,
+cbrtl
+\(em cube root functions
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <math.h>
+.P
+double cbrt(double \fIx\fP);
+float cbrtf(float \fIx\fP);
+long double cbrtl(long double \fIx\fP);

+.SH 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\(hy2008 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+These functions shall compute the real cube root of their argument
+.IR x .
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the cube root
+of
+.IR x .
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is \(+-0 or \(+-Inf,
+.IR x
+shall be returned.
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+For some applications, a true cube root function, which returns
+negative results for negative arguments, is more appropriate than
+.IR pow (\c
+.IR x ,
+1.0/3.0), which returns a NaN for
+.IR x
+less than 0.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
