+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions calculate the complex argument (also called phase angle) of
+.IR z ,
+with a branch cut along the negative real axis.
+.P
+A complex number can be described by two real coordinates.
+One may use rectangular coordinates and gets
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+z = x + I * y
+.EE
+.in
+.P
+where
+.I x\~=\~creal(z)
+and
+.IR y\~=\~cimag(z) .
+.P
+Or one may use polar coordinates and gets
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+z = r * cexp(I * a)
+.EE
+.in
+.P
+where
+.I r\~=\~cabs(z)
+is the "radius", the "modulus", the absolute value of
+.IR z ,
+and
+.I a\~=\~carg(z)
+is the "phase angle", the argument of
+.IR z .
+.P
+One has:
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+tan(carg(z)) = cimag(z) / creal(z)
+.EE
+.in
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The return value is in the range of [\-pi,pi].
