+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions return the (real) cube root of
+.IR x .
+This function cannot fail;
+every representable real value
+has a real cube root,
+and rounding it to a representable value
+never causes overflow nor underflow.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+These functions return the cube root of
+.IR x .
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is +0, \-0, positive infinity, negative infinity, or NaN,
+.I x
+is returned.
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors occur.
