Compute the complex tangent
Synopsis:
#include <complex.h>
double complex ctan( double complex z );
float complex ctanf( float complex z );
long double complex ctanl( long double complex z );
Arguments:
- z
 - The complex value that you want to get the tangent of.
 
Library:
- libm
 - The general-purpose math library.
 - libm-sve
 - A library that optimizes the code for ARMv8.2 chips that have Scalable Vector Extension hardware.
 
Your system requirements will determine how you should work with these libraries:
- If you want only selected processes to run with the SVE version, you can include both libraries in your OS image and use the -l m or -l m-sve option to qcc to link explicitly against the appropriate one.
 - If you want all processes to use the SVE version, include libm-sve.so in your OS image and set up a symbolic link from libm.so to libm-sve.so. Use the -l m option to qcc to link against the library.
 
Note: 
Compile your program with the -fno-builtin option to prevent the compiler from using a
  built-in version of the function.
Description:
These functions compute the complex tangent of z.
To check for error situations, use feclearexcept() and fetestexcept(). For example:
- Call 
feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)before calling ctan(), ctanf(), or ctanl(). - On return, if 
fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)is nonzero, then an error has occurred. 
Returns:
The complex tangent of z. Errors and special cases are handled as if the operation were implemented as -i * ctanh(i * z).
These functions raise FE_INEXACT if the FPU reports that the result can't be exactly represented as a floating-point number.
