.SH DESCRIPTION
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\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
.P
These functions shall compute the complex power function
\fIx\s-3\uy\d\s+3\fR, with a branch cut for the first parameter along
the negative real axis.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
These functions shall return the complex power function value.
.SH ERRORS
No errors are defined.
