ecvt, fcvt, gcvt - convert a floating-point number to a string (

value, int
ndigit, int *restrict
decpt ,
int *restrict

ndigit, char *buf);
The
ecvt(),
fcvt(), and
gcvt() functions shall convert
floating-point numbers to null-terminated strings.
The
ecvt() function shall convert
value to a null-terminated
string of
ndigit digits (where
ndigit is reduced to an
unspecified limit determined by the precision of a
double) and return a
pointer to the string. The high-order digit shall be non-zero, unless the
value is 0. The low-order digit shall be rounded in an implementation-defined
manner. The position of the radix character relative to the beginning of the
string shall be stored in the integer pointed to by
decpt (negative
means to the left of the returned digits). If
value is zero, it is
unspecified whether the integer pointed to by
decpt would be 0 or 1.
The radix character shall not be included in the returned string. If the sign
of the result is negative, the integer pointed to by
sign shall be
non-zero; otherwise, it shall be 0.
If the converted value is out of range or is not representable, the contents of
the returned string are unspecified.
The
fcvt() function shall be equivalent to
ecvt(), except that
ndigit specifies the number of digits desired after the radix
character. The total number of digits in the result string is restricted to an
unspecified limit as determined by the precision of a
double.
The
gcvt() function shall convert
value to a null-terminated
string (similar to that of the
%g conversion specification format of
printf()) in the array pointed to by
buf and shall return
buf. It shall produce
ndigit significant digits (limited to an
unspecified value determined by the precision of a
double) in the
%f conversion specification format of
printf() if possible, or
the
%e conversion specification format of
printf() (scientific
notation) otherwise. A minus sign shall be included in the returned string if
value is less than 0. A radix character shall be included in the
returned string if
value is not a whole number. Trailing zeros shall be
suppressed where
value is not a whole number. The radix character is
determined by the current locale. If
setlocale() has not been called
successfully, the default locale, POSIX, is used. The default locale specifies
a period (
'.' ) as the radix character. The
LC_NUMERIC category
determines the value of the radix character within the current locale.
These functions need not be reentrant. A function that is not required to be
reentrant is not required to be thread-safe.
The
ecvt() and
fcvt() functions shall return a pointer to a
null-terminated string of digits.
The
gcvt() function shall return
buf.
The return values from
ecvt() and
fcvt() may point to static data
which may be overwritten by subsequent calls to these functions.
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
None.
The
sprintf() function is preferred over this function.
None.
These functions may be withdrawn in a future version.
