Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn cbrt ,
|
|
.Fn cbrtf ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn cbrtl
|
|
functions compute
|
|
the cube root of
|
|
.Ar x .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sqrt ,
|
|
.Fn sqrtf ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn sqrtl
|
|
functions compute the
|
|
non-negative square root of
|
|
.Ar x .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn cbrt ,
|
|
.Fn cbrtf ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn cbrtl
|
|
functions return the requested cube root.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sqrt ,
|
|
.Fn sqrtf ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn sqrtl
|
|
functions return the requested square root
|
|
unless an error occurs.
|
|
An attempt to take the
|
|
.Fn sqrt
|
|
of negative
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
raises an invalid exception and causes an \*(Na to be returned
|
|
(except that the square root of -0 is valid and equal to -0.)
