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
