Removed most of the zombie man pages in libm. All relevant parts have
been copied to msun/man (most of them long ago without proper history).

-.Dt HYPOT 3
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm hypot ,
-.Nm cabs
-.Nd euclidean distance and complex absolute value functions
-.Sh LIBRARY
-.Lb libm
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.In math.h
-.Ft double
-.Fn hypot "double x" "double y"
-.Vt struct {double x, y;} z ;
-.Ft double
-.Fn cabs z
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Fn hypot
-and
-.Fn cabs
-functions
-computes the
-sqrt(x*x+y*y)
-in such a way that underflow will not happen, and overflow
-occurs only if the final result deserves it.
-.Pp
-.Fn hypot "\*(If" "v"
-=
-.Fn hypot "v" "\*(If"
-= +\*(If for all
-.Ar v ,
-including \*(Na.
-.Sh ERROR (due to Roundoff, etc.)
-Below 0.97
-.Em ulps .
-Consequently
-.Fn hypot "5.0" "12.0"
-= 13.0
-exactly;
-in general, hypot and cabs return an integer whenever an
-integer might be expected.
-.Pp
-The same cannot be said for the shorter and faster version of hypot
-and cabs that is provided in the comments in cabs.c; its error can
-exceed 1.2
-.Em ulps .
-.Sh NOTES
-As might be expected,
-.Fn hypot "v" "\*(Na"
-and
-.Fn hypot "\*(Na" "v"
-are \*(Na for all
-.Em finite
-.Ar v ;
-with "reserved operand" in place of "\*(Na", the
-same is true on a
-.Tn VAX .
-But programmers on machines other than a
-.Tn VAX
-(if has no \*(If)
-might be surprised at first to discover that
-.Fn hypot "\(+-\*(If" "\*(Na"
-= +\*(If.
-This is intentional; it happens because
-.Fn hypot "\*(If" "v"
-= +\*(If
-for
-.Em all
-.Ar v ,
-finite or infinite.
-Hence
-.Fn hypot "\*(If" "v"
-is independent of
-.Ar v .
-Unlike the reserved operand fault on a
-.Tn VAX ,
-the
-.Tn IEEE
-\*(Na is designed to
-disappear when it turns out to be irrelevant, as it does in
-.Fn hypot "\*(If" "\*(Na" .
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr math 3 ,
-.Xr sqrt 3
-.Sh HISTORY
-Both a
-.Fn hypot
-function and a
-.Fn cabs
-function
-appeared in
-.At v7 .
