CPROJ(3) complex math routines CPROJ(3)NAME
cproj, cprojf, cprojl - project into Riemann Sphere
SYNOPSIS
#include <complex.h>
double complex cproj(double complex z);
float complex cprojf(float complex z);
long double complex cprojl(long double complex z);
Link with -lm.
DESCRIPTION
This function projects 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.

NOTE
The glibc implementation is broken and does something entirely differ‐
ent.
