NAME

cimag cimagf cimagl — complex imaginary functions

SYNOPSIS

#include <complex.h>

double cimag(double complex z);
float cimagf(float complex z);
long double cimagl(long double complex z);

DESCRIPTION

[CX] The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

These functions shall compute the imaginary part of z.

RETURN VALUE

These functions shall return the imaginary part value (as a real).

ERRORS
