This function cannot fail; every representable real value has a representable real cube root. .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. .SH ATTRIBUTES For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see .BR attributes (7). .TS allbox; lbx lb lb l l l.
