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
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.
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 [-π/2, +π/2] along the real axis.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
