PROLOG

6       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
7       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
8       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
9       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

13       catan, catanf, catanl — complex arc tangent functions
14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <complex.h>
17
18       double complex catan(double complex z);
19       float complex catanf(float complex z);
20       long double complex catanl(long double complex z);
21

DESCRIPTION

23       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
24       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
25       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1‐2008
26       defers to the ISO C standard.
27
28       These functions shall compute the complex arc tangent of z, with branch
29       cuts outside the interval [−i, +i] along the imaginary axis.
30

RETURN VALUE

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