PROLOG

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

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.1‐2008 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.
