NAME
     atan, atanf, atanl - arc tangent function

SYNOPSIS
     c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
     #include 

     double atan(double x);


     float atanf(float x);


     long double atanl(long double x);


DESCRIPTION
     These functions compute  the  principal  value  of  the  arc
     tangent of x.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon successful completion, these functions return  the  arc
     tangent of x in the range [-pi/2,pi/2] radians.


     If x is NaN, NaN is returned.


     If x is +_0, x is returned.


     If x is +_Inf, +_pi/2 is returned.

ERRORS
     No errors are defined.
