cproj(3) Library Functions Manual cproj(3)
NAME
cproj, cprojf, cprojl - project into Riemann Sphere
LIBRARY
Math library (libm, -lm)
SYNOPSIS
#include <complex.h>
double complex cproj(double complex z);
float complex cprojf(float complex z);
long double complex cprojl(long double complex z);
DESCRIPTION
These functions project a point in the plane onto the surface of a Rie-
mann Sphere, the one-point compactification of the complex plane. Each
finite point z projects to z itself. Every complex infinite value is
projected to a single infinite value, namely to positive infinity on
the real axis.
VERSIONS
These functions were added in glibc 2.1.
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see at-

STANDARDS
C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
NOTES
In glibc 2.11 and earlier, the implementation does something different
(a stereographic projection onto a Riemann Sphere).
