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).

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