DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUE

42       These functions return 0 on success, and -1 otherwise.
