cproj(3)                Library Functions Manual                cproj(3)

NAME         top

       cproj, cprojf, cprojl - project into Riemann Sphere

LIBRARY         top

       Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <complex.h>

       double complex cproj(double complex z);
       float complex cprojf(float complex z);
       long double complex cprojl(long double complex z);

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions project a point in the plane onto the surface of
       a Riemann Sphere, the one-point compactification of the complex
       plane.  Each finite point z projects to z itself.  Every complex
       infinite value is projected to a single infinite value, namely to
       positive infinity on the real axis.

STANDARDS         top

       C11, POSIX.1-2008.

HISTORY         top

       glibc 2.1.  C99, POSIX.1-2001.

       In glibc 2.11 and earlier, the implementation does something
       different (a stereographic projection onto a Riemann Sphere).
