catan, catanf, catanl - complex arc tangents
#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.
The catan() function calculates 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)
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
C99.
