.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.
