NAME

6       catan, catanf, catanl - complex arc tangents
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <complex.h>
10
11       double complex catan(double complex z);
12       float complex catanf(float complex z);
13       long double complex catanl(long double complex z);
14
15       Link with -lm.
16

DESCRIPTION

18       These   functions   calculate   the  complex  arc  tangent  of  z.   If
19       y = catan(z), then z = ctan(y).  The real part of y is  chosen  in  the
20       interval [-pi/2,pi/2].
21
22       One has:
23
24           catan(z) = (clog(1 + i * z) - clog(1 - i * z)) / (2 * i)
25

VERSIONS

27       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
