     The sqrt functions calculate the square root of <x>.
 
     The sqrtl function uses an 80-bit long double form of arguments
     and return values. In all other respects, it is identical to the
     regular function.
 
     Return Value
 
     The sqrt functions return the square-root result. If <x> is
     negative, the function prints a DOMAIN error message to stderr,
     sets errno to EDOM, and returns 0.
 
     Error handling can be modified by using the matherr (or _matherrl)
     routine.
