+.SH NAME
+csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl \- complex square root
+.SH LIBRARY
+Math library

+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions calculate the complex square root of
+.IR z ,
+with a branch cut along the negative real axis.
+(That means that \fIcsqrt(\-1+eps*I)\fP will be close to I while
+\fIcsqrt(\-1\-eps*I)\fP will be close to \-I, \fIif eps\fP is a small positive
+real number.)
