ECVT_R(3)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 ECVT_R(3)



NAME
       ecvt_r, fcvt_r, qecvt_r, qfcvt_r - convert a floating-point number to a
       string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

       char *ecvt_r(double number, int ndigits, int *decpt,  int  *sign,  char
       *buf, size_t len);

       char  *fcvt_r(double  number,  int ndigits, int *decpt, int *sign, char
       *buf, size_t len);

       char *qecvt_r(long double number, int ndigits, int *decpt,  int  *sign,
       char *buf, size_t len);

       char  *qfcvt_r(long  double number, int ndigits, int *decpt, int *sign,
       char *buf, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION
       The functions ecvt_r, fcvt_r, qecvt_r  and  qfcvt_r  are  identical  to
       ecvt,  fcvt,  qecvt  and  qfcvt,  respectively, except that they do not
       return their result in a static buffer, but instead  use  the  supplied
       buf of size len.  See ecvt(3) and qecvt(3).

NOTES
       These functions are obsolete. Instead, sprintf() is recommended.

CONFORMING TO
       These functions are GNU extensions.
