cabs(3) Library Functions Manual cabs(3)
cabs, cabsf, cabsl - absolute value of a complex number
Math library (libm, -lm)
#include <complex.h> double cabs(double complex z); float cabsf(float complex z); long double cabsl(long double complex z);
These functions return the absolute value of the complex number z. The result is a real number.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7). ┌──────────────────────────────────────┬───────────────┬─────────┐ │Interface │ Attribute │ Value │ ├──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼─────────┤ │cabs(), cabsf(), cabsl() │ Thread safety │ MT-Safe │ └──────────────────────────────────────┴───────────────┴─────────┘

The function is actually an alias for hypot(a, b) (or, equivalently, sqrt(a*a + b*b)).
