tan(3) Library Functions Manual tan(3)
tan, tanf, tanl - tangent function
Math library (libm, -lm)
#include <math.h>
double tan(double x);
float tanf(float x);
long double tanl(long double x);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
tanf(), tanl():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
|| /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
These functions return the tangent of x, where x is given in
radians.
On success, these functions return the tangent of x.
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error
occurs, and a NaN is returned.
If the correct result would overflow, a range error occurs, and
the functions return HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL,
respectively, with the mathematically correct sign.
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an
error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
Domain error: x is an infinity
errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS). An invalid floating-
point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
Range error: result overflow
An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is
raised.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).

C11, POSIX.1-2008.
C99, POSIX.1-2001.
The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
Before glibc 2.10, the glibc implementation did not set errno to
EDOM when a domain error occurred.
