NAME
sqrt, sqrtf, sqrtl - square root function
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double sqrt(double x);
float sqrtf(float x);
long double sqrtl(long double x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L

DESCRIPTION
These functions return the nonnegative square root of x.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the square root of x. If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned. If x is positive infinity, positive infinity is returned. If x is less than -0, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
ERRORS
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error
has occurred when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
Domain error: x less than -0
errno is set to EDOM. An invalid floating-point exception
(FE_INVALID) is raised.

CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008. The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
