atan(3) Library Functions Manual atan(3) NAME atan, atanf, atanl - arc tangent function LIBRARY Math library (libm, -lm) SYNOPSIS #include <math.h> double atan(double x); float atanf(float x); long double atanl(long double x); 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 <= 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 re- turned. ERRORS No errors occur.
