ATAN(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual ATAN(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
atan, atanf, atanl — arc tangent function
#include <math.h>
double atan(double x);
float atanf(float x);
long double atanl(long double x);
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.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
These functions shall compute the principal value of the arc tangent
of their argument x.
An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno
to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these
functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID
| FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error
has occurred.
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the arc
tangent of x in the range [−π/2,π/2] radians.
If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
If x is ±0, x shall be returned.
If x is ±Inf, ±π/2 shall be returned.
If x is subnormal, a range error may occur
and x should be returned.
If x is not returned, atan(), atanf(), and atanl() shall return an
implementation-defined value no greater in magnitude than DBL_MIN,
FLT_MIN, and LDBL_MIN, respectively.
These functions may fail if:
Range Error The value of x is subnormal.
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)
is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the
integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception
shall be raised.
The following sections are informative.
None.
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and
(math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other,
but at least one of them must be non-zero.
None.
None.
