QECVT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual QECVT(3) NAME qecvt, qfcvt, qgcvt - convert a floating-point number to a string SYNOPSIS #include <stdlib.h> char *qecvt(long double number, int ndigits, int *decpt, int *sign); char *qfcvt(long double number, int ndigits, int *decpt, int *sign); char *qgcvt(long double number, int ndigit, char *buf); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): qecvt(), qfcvt(), qgcvt(): _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 DESCRIPTION The functions qecvt(), qfcvt() and qgcvt() are identical to ecvt(3), fcvt(3) and gcvt(3) respectively, except that they use a long double argument number. See ecvt(3) and gcvt(3). CONFORMING TO SVr4. Not seen in most common Unix implementations, but occurs in SunOS. Not supported by libc4 and libc5. Supported by glibc. NOTES These functions are obsolete. Instead, sprintf(3) is recommended. SEE ALSO ecvt(3), ecvt_r(3), gcvt(3), sprintf(3) GNU 2007-07-26 QECVT(3)
