.SH NAME
catan, catanf, catanl \- complex arc tangents
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <complex.h>
.PP
.BI "double complex catan(double complex " z );
.br
.BI "float complex catanf(float complex " z );
.br
.BI "long double complex catanl(long double complex " z );
.PP
Link with \fI\-lm\fP.
.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions calculate the complex arc tangent of
.IR z .
If \fIy\ =\ catan(z)\fP, then \fIz\ =\ ctan(y)\fP.
The real part of y is chosen in the interval [\-pi/2,pi/2].
.PP
One has:
.PP
.nf
    catan(z) = (clog(1 + i * z) \- clog(1 \- i * z)) / (2 * i)
.fi
.SH VERSIONS
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
