cpow, cpowf, cpowl - complex power function

Math library (libm, -lm)

#include <complex.h>
double complex cpow(double complex x, double complex z);
float complex cpowf(float complex x, float complex z);
long double complex cpowl(long double complex x,
                          long double complex z);

These functions calculate x raised to the power z (with a branch cut for x along the negative real axis).

These functions were added in glibc 2.1.
