 .SH DESCRIPTION
-The \fBtan\fP() function returns the tangent of \fIx\fP, where \fIx\fP is
+These functions return the tangent of
+.IR x ,
+where
+.I x
+is
 given in radians.
-.SH "CONFORMING TO"
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, these functions return the tangent of
+.IR x .
+.PP
+If
+.I x
+is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
+.PP
+If
+.I x
+is positive infinity or negative infinity,
+a domain error occurs,
+and a NaN is returned.
+.PP
+If the correct result would overflow,
+a range error occurs,
+and the functions return
+.BR HUGE_VAL ,
+.BR HUGE_VALF ,
+or
+.BR HUGE_VALL ,
+respectively, with the mathematically correct sign.
+.\" I think overflow can't occur, because the closest floating-point
+.\" representation of pi/2 is still not close enough to pi/2 to
+.\" produce a large enough value to overflow.
+.\" Testing certainly seems to bear this out.  -- mtk, Jul 08
+.\"
+.\" POSIX.1 allows an optional underflow error;
+.\" glibc 2.8 doesn't do this
+.\" POSIX.1 an optional range error for subnormal x;
+.\" glibc 2.8 doesn't do this
+.SH ERRORS
+See
+.BR math_error (7)
+for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
+when calling these functions.
+.PP
+The following errors can occur:
+.TP
+Domain error: \fIx\fP is an infinity
+.I errno
+is set to
+.B EDOM
+(but see BUGS).
+An invalid floating-point exception
+.RB ( FE_INVALID )
+is raised.
+.TP
+Range error: result overflow
+.\" Unable to test this case, since the best approximation of
+.\" pi/2 in double precision only yields a tan() value of 1.633e16.
+.\" .I errno
+.\" is set to
+.\" .BR ERANGE .
+An overflow floating-point exception
+.RB ( FE_OVERFLOW )
+is raised.
