NAME

6       qecvt, qfcvt, qgcvt - convert a floating-point number to a string
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <stdlib.h>
10
11       char *qecvt(long double number, int ndigits, int *restrict decpt,
12                   int *restrict sign);
13       char *qfcvt(long double number, int ndigits, int *restrict decpt,
14                   int *restrict sign);
15       char *qgcvt(long double number, int ndigit, char *buf);

17   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
18
19       qecvt(), qfcvt(), qgcvt():
20           Since glibc 2.19:
21               _DEFAULT_SOURCE
22           In glibc up to and including 2.19:
23               _SVID_SOURCE
24

DESCRIPTION

26       The  functions  qecvt(), qfcvt(), and qgcvt() are identical to ecvt(3),
27       fcvt(3), and gcvt(3) respectively, except that they use a  long  double
28       argument number.  See ecvt(3) and gcvt(3).

CONFORMING TO

45       SVr4.  Not seen in most common  UNIX  implementations,  but  occurs  in
46       SunOS.  Supported by glibc.

NOTES

49       These functions are obsolete.  Instead, snprintf(3) is recommended.
