NAME

catan, catanf, catanl - complex arc tangent functions

SYNOPSIS

#include <complex.h>

double complex catan(double complex
z);
float complex catanf(float complex
z);
long double complex catanl(long double complex
z);

DESCRIPTION

[CX] [Option Start] The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2017 defers to the ISO C standard. [Option End]

These functions shall compute the complex arc tangent of z, with branch cuts outside the interval [-i, +i] along the imaginary axis.

RETURN VALUE

These functions shall return the complex arc tangent value, in the range of a strip mathematically unbounded along the imaginary axis and in the interval [-/2, +/2] along the real axis.

ERRORS
