HELPLIB.HLB  —  CRTL  catan
    Returns the complex arc tangent of its argument.

    This function is supported on OpenVMS Integrity servers and
    Alpha only.

    Format

      #include  <complex.h>

      double complex catan  (double complex z);

      float complex catanf  (float complex z);

      long double complex catanl  (long double complex z);

1  –  Argument

 z

    A complex value.

2  –  Description

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

3  –  Return Values

    n                  The complex arc tangent value, in the range
                       of a strip mathematically unbounded along the
                       imaginary axis and in the interval [-&#960;/2,
                       +&#960;/2] along the real axis.
