cbrt(3)                  Library Functions Manual                 cbrt(3)
       cbrt, cbrtf, cbrtl - cube root function
       Math library (libm, -lm)
       #include <math.h>
       double cbrt(double x);
       float cbrtf(float x);
       long double cbrtl(long double x);
   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
   feature_test_macros(7)):
       cbrt():
           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
               || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
               || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
               || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
       cbrtf(), cbrtl():
           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
               || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
               || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
       These functions return the (real) cube root of x.  This function
       cannot fail; every representable real value has a real cube root,
       and rounding it to a representable value never causes overflow nor
       underflow.
       These functions return the cube root of x.
       If x is +0, -0, positive infinity, negative infinity, or NaN, x is
       returned.
       No errors occur.
