Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     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.
