Laplace Probability Distribution Function

In the C, Fortran, and SYCL* documentation for the Laplace distribution the probability distribution function is given as 1/sqrt(2*beta)... From what I've seen in the NIST Engineering Statistics Handbook and elsewhere, it should be 1/(2*beta)... (i.e., no sqrt). A quick test in Fortran to generate some numbers and calculate the standard deviation seems to confirm that the distribution is implemented as expected (without a sqrt).

 

Can it be confirmed that the distribution is implemented without a sqrt, and can the documentation be updated accordingly?
