+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions calculate the principal value of the arc tangent of
+.IR y/x ,
+using the signs of the two arguments to determine
+the quadrant of the result.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, these functions return the principal value of the arc tangent of
+.I y/x
+in radians; the return value is in the range [\-pi,\ pi].
+.PP
+If
+.I y
+is +0 (\-0) and
+.I x
+is less than 0, +pi (\-pi) is returned.
+.PP
+If
+.I y
+is +0 (\-0) and
+.I x
+is greater than 0, +0 (\-0) is returned.
+.PP
+If
+.I y
+is less than 0 and
+.I x
+is +0 or \-0, \-pi/2 is returned.
+.PP
+If
+.I y
+is greater than 0 and
+.I x
+is +0 or \-0, pi/2 is returned.
+.PP
+.\" POSIX.1 says:
+.\" If
+.\" .I x
+.\" is 0, a pole error shall not occur.
+.\"
+If either
+.I x
+or
+.I y
+is NaN, a NaN is returned.
+.PP
+.\" POSIX.1 says:
+.\" If the result underflows, a range error may occur and
+.\" .I y/x
+.\" should be returned.
+.\"
+If
+.I y
+is +0 (\-0) and
+.I x
+is \-0, +pi (\-pi) is returned.
+.PP
+If
+.I y
+is +0 (\-0) and
+.I x
+is +0, +0 (\-0) is returned.
+.PP
+If
+.I y
+is a finite value greater (less) than 0, and
+.I x
+is negative infinity, +pi (\-pi) is returned.
+.PP
+If
+.I y
+is a finite value greater (less) than 0, and
+.I x
+is positive infinity, +0 (\-0) is returned.
+.PP
+If
+.I y
+is positive infinity (negative infinity), and
+.I x
+is finite,
+pi/2 (\-pi/2) is returned.
+.PP
+If
+.I y
+is positive infinity (negative infinity) and
+.I x
+is negative infinity, +3*pi/4 (\-3*pi/4) is returned.
+.PP
+If
+.I y
+is positive infinity (negative infinity) and
+.I x
+is positive infinity, +pi/4 (\-pi/4) is returned.

+.\" POSIX.1 says:

+.SH ERRORS
+No errors occur.
