ATAN(3)                    Linux Programmer's Manual                   ATAN(3)
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);
       Link with -lm.
   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
       atanf(), atanl():
           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
               || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
               || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
       These  functions calculate the principal value of the arc tangent of x;
       that is the value whose tangent is x.
RETURN VALUE
       On success, these functions return the principal value of the arc  tan-
       gent of x in radians; the return value is in the range [-pi/2, pi/2].
       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
       If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
       If  x  is  positive  infinity  (negative  infinity),  +pi/2  (-pi/2) is
       returned.
ERRORS
       No errors occur.
