p The .Fn creal functions return the real part .Fa a , and the .Fn cimag functions return the imaginary part .Fa b .

p The .Fn conj functions return the complex conjugate .Sm off .Fa a - b * Em i . .Sm on

p The .Fn cproj functions return the projection onto the Riemann sphere. If .Fa z contains an infinite component, then the result is .Fa \*(If \*(Pm 0 Ns * Ns Em i , where the (zero) imaginary part of the result has the same sign as .Fa b . Otherwise, the result is .Fa z .

p These functions do not signal any floating point exceptions. .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn cimag , .Fn conj , .Fn cproj , and .Fn creal functions conform to .St -isoC-99 . .Sh HISTORY The .Fn cimag , .Fn conj and .Fn creal functions first appeared in .Fx 5.3 . The .Fn cproj functions appeared in .Fx 8.0 .
