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.
