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
[CX] ![[Option Start]](../images/opt-start.gif)
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.1-2017 defers to the ISO C
standard.
![[Option End]](../images/opt-end.gif)
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 [-
/2, +/2] along the
real axis.
ERRORS
