+.SH NAME
+csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl \- complex square root
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <complex.h>
+.sp
+.BI "double complex csqrt(double complex " z ");"

+Link with \-lm.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Calculate the square root of a given complex number,
+with nonnegative real part, and
+with a branch cut along the negative real axis.
+(That means that csqrt(-1+eps*I) will be close to I while
+csqrt(-1-eps*I) will be close to -I, if eps is a small positive
+real number.)
