_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;

DESCRIPTION

These functions return the (real) cube root of x. This function cannot fail; every representable real value has a representable real cube root.

RETURN VALUE

These functions return the cube root of x.
If x is +0, -0, positive infinity, negative infinity, or NaN, x is returned.

ERRORS

No errors occur.
