NAME
       catan, catanf, catanl - complex arc tangent functions

SYNOPSIS
       c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
       #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 compute the complex arc tangent of z, with branch cuts outside the interval [ -i, +++++pipii ] along the imaginary axis.

RETURN VALUES
       These  functions 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.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.
