PROLOG
       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       atan, atanf, atanl - arc tangent function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double atan(double x);
       float atanf(float x);
       long double atanl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION
       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.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the arc tangent of x in the range [-pi/2,pi/2] radians.

       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

       If x is +-0, x shall be returned.

       If x is +-Inf, +-pi/2 shall be returned.

       If x is subnormal, a range error may occur and x should be returned.

ERRORS
       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.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       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.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
