CATAN(3)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 CATAN(3)

NAME         top

       catan, catanf, catanl - complex arc tangents

SYNOPSIS         top

       #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         top

       These functions calculate 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) = (clog(1 + i * z) - clog(1 - i * z)) / (2 * i)

VERSIONS         top

       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
