NAME

       catan, catanf, catanl - complex arc tangent functions

SYNOPSIS

       #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 shall compute the complex arc tangent of z, with branch
       cuts outside the interval [-i, +i] along the imaginary axis.

RETURN VALUE

       These functions shall 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.
