NAME

6       explain_strtod_or_die - convert string to number and report errors
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <libexplain/strtod.h>
10       double explain_strtod_or_die(const char *nptr, char **endptr);
11       double explain_strtod_on_error(const char *nptr, char **endptr))
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The explain_strtod_or_die function is used to call the strtod(3) system
15       call. On failure an explanation will be  printed  to  stderr,  obtained
16       from the explain_strtod(3) function, and then the process terminates by
17       calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
18
19       The explain_strtod_on_error function is used to call the strtod(3) sys‐
20       tem call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
21       from the explain_strtod(3) function, but still returns to the caller.
22
23       nptr    The nptr, exactly as to be passed to the strtod(3) system call.
24
25       endptr  The endptr, exactly as to be passed  to  the  strtod(3)  system
26               call.
27

RETURN VALUE

29       The  explain_strtod_or_die  function  only returns on success, see str‐
30       tod(3) for more information. On  failure,  prints  an  explanation  and
31       exits, it does not return.
32
33       The explain_strtod_on_error function always returns the value return by
34       the wrapped strtod(3) system call.
35

EXAMPLE

37       The explain_strtod_or_die function is intended to be used in a  fashion
38       similar to the following example:
39              double result = explain_strtod_or_die(nptr, endptr);
