NAME

       cbrt, cbrtf, cbrtl - cube root function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double cbrt(double x);
       float cbrtf(float x);
       long double cbrtl(long double x);

       Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION

       These functions return the (real) cube root  of  x.   This  function  cannot  fail;  every
       representable real value has a representable real cube root.

RETURN VALUE

       These functions return the cube root of x.

       If x is +0, -0, positive infinity, negative infinity, or NaN, x is returned.

ERRORS

       No errors occur.
