64.Sh DESCRIPTION
65Let
66.Sm off
67.Fa a + b * Em i
68.Sm on
69denote the complex number
70.Fa z .
71.Pp
72The
73.Fn creal
74functions return the real part
75.Fa a ,
76and the
77.Fn cimag
78functions return the imaginary part
79.Fa b .
80.Pp
81The
82.Fn conj
83functions return the complex conjugate
84.Sm off
85.Fa a - b * Em i .
86.Sm on
87.Pp
88The
89.Fn cproj
90functions return the projection onto the Riemann sphere.
91If
92.Fa z
93contains an infinite component, then the result is
94.Fa \*(If \*(Pm 0 Ns * Ns Em i ,
95where the (zero) imaginary part of the result has the same sign as
96.Fa b .
97Otherwise, the result is
98.Fa z .
99.Pp
100These functions do not signal any floating point exceptions.
101.Sh STANDARDS
102The
103.Fn cimag ,
104.Fn conj ,
105.Fn cproj ,
106and
107.Fn creal
108functions conform to
109.St -isoC-99 .
110.Sh HISTORY
111The
112.Fn cimag ,
113.Fn conj
114and
115.Fn creal
116functions first appeared in
117.Fx 5.3 .
118The
119.Fn cproj
