NAME top

       cabs, cabsf, cabsl - absolute value of a complex number

SYNOPSIS top

       #include <complex.h>

       double cabs(double complex z);
       float cabsf(float complex z);
       long double cabsl(long double complex z);

       Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION top

       These functions return the absolute value of the complex number z.
       The result is a real number.

VERSIONS top

       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
