NAME
catan, catanf, catanl - complex arc tangents
SYNOPSIS
#include <complex.h>
double complex catan(double complex z); float complex catanf(float complex z); long double complex catanl(long double complex z);
Link with -lm.
DESCRIPTION
The catan() function calculates the complex arc tangent of z. If y = catan(z), then z = ctan(y). The real part of y is chosen in the interval [-pi/2,pi/2].
One has:
catan(z) = 1 / 2i clog((1 + iz) / (1 - iz))
VERSIONS
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
