+.Sh NAME
+.Nm csqrt ,
+.Nm csqrtf ,
+.Nm csqrtl
+.Nd complex square root
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <complex.h>
+.Ft double complex
+.Fn csqrt "double complex z"
+.Ft float complex
+.Fn csqrtf "float complex z"
+.Ft long double complex
+.Fn csqrtl "long double complex z"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn csqrt ,
+.Fn csqrtf
+and
+.Fn csqrtl
+functions compute the complex square root of
+.Fa z .
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa z
+= x + iy, then
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Re csqrt(z) = [ (|z| + x) / 2 ]^(1/2).
+Im csqrt(z) = [ (|z| - x) / 2 ]^(1/2).
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Note that -csqrt(z) is also a square root of
+.Fa z .
+The root chosen
+is always in the right half plane and Im csqrt(z) has the same sign
+as y.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn csqrt ,
+.Fn csqrtf
+and
+.Fn csqrtl
+functions return the complex square root of
+.Fa z .
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr cpow 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn csqrt ,
+.Fn csqrtf
+and
+.Fn csqrtl
+functions conform to
+.St -isoC-99 .
