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>

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

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

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

       int  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).

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

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

CONFORMING TO
       These functions are GNU extensions.
