NAME         top

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

LIBRARY         top

       Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <complex.h>

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

DESCRIPTION         top

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