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

       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 [-pi/2, +pi/2] along the real axis.
