11** Given:
12** a double[3] direction of reference point
13** b double[3] direction of point whose PA is required
14**
15** Returned (function value):
16** double position angle of b with respect to a (radians)
17**
18** Notes:
19**
20** 1) The result is the position angle, in radians, of direction b with
21** respect to direction a. It is in the range -pi to +pi. The
22** sense is such that if b is a small distance "north" of a the
23** position angle is approximately zero, and if b is a small
24** distance "east" of a the position angle is approximately +pi/2.
25**
26** 2) The vectors a and b need not be of unit length.
27**
28** 3) Zero is returned if the two directions are the same or if either
29** vector is null.
30**
31** 4) If vector a is at a pole, the result is ill-defined.
32**
33** Called:
34** eraPn decompose p-vector into modulus and direction
35** eraPm modulus of p-vector
36** eraPxp vector product of two p-vectors
37** eraPmp p-vector minus p-vector
38** eraPdp scalar product of two p-vectors

95** available from http://www.iausofa.org.
96**
97** The ERFA version is intended to retain identical functionality to
98** the SOFA library, but made distinct through different function and
99** file names, as set out in the SOFA license conditions. The SOFA
100** original has a role as a reference standard for the IAU and IERS,
101** and consequently redistribution is permitted only in its unaltered
102** state. The ERFA version is not subject to this restriction and
103** therefore can be included in distributions which do not support the
104** concept of "read only" software.
105**
106** Although the intent is to replicate the SOFA API (other than
107** replacement of prefix names) and results (with the exception of
108** bugs; any that are discovered will be fixed), SOFA is not
109** responsible for any errors found in this version of the library.
110**
111** If you wish to acknowledge the SOFA heritage, please acknowledge
112** that you are using a library derived from SOFA, rather than SOFA
113** itself.
