NAME

       atan,_atan2,_atanh,_atanpi,_atan2pi - Tangent functions.

       gentype atan(gentype y_over_x);

       gentype atan2(gentype y, gentype x);

       gentype atanh(gentype );

       gentype atanpi(gentype x);

       gentype atan2pi(gentype y, gentype x);

DESCRIPTION

       atan is the arc tangent function.

       atan2 is the arc tangent of y / x.

       atanh is the hyperbolic arc tangent function.

       atanpi computes atan (x) / π.

       atan2pi computes atan2 (y, x) / π.

NOTES

       The vector versions of the math functions operate component-wise. The description is
       per-component.

       The built-in math functions are not affected by the prevailing rounding mode in the
       calling environment, and always return the same value as they would if called with the
       round to nearest even rounding mode.

       The built-in math functions take scalar or vector arguments. For any specific use of these
       function, the actual type has to be the same for all arguments and the return type unless
       otherwise specified.

       The generic type name gentype is used to indicate that the function can take float,
       float2, float3, float4, float8, float16, double, double2, double3, double4, double8, or
       double16 as the type for the arguments.

       If extended with cl_khr_fp16(3clc), generic type name gentype may indicate half and
       half{2|3|4|8|16} as arguments and return values.

       The generic type name gentypef is used to indicate that the function can take float,
       float2, float3, float4, float8, or float16 as the type for the arguments.

       The generic type name gentyped is used to indicate that the function can take double,
       double2, double3, double4, double8, or double16 as the type for the arguments.
