NAME
ecvt_r, fcvt_r, qecvt_r, qfcvt_r - convert a floating-point number to a
string
LIBRARY
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
[[deprecated]] int ecvt_r(double number, int ndigits,
int *restrict decpt, int *restrict sign,
char *restrict buf, size_t len);
[[deprecated]] int fcvt_r(double number, int ndigits,
int *restrict decpt, int *restrict sign,
char *restrict buf, size_t len);
[[deprecated]] int qecvt_r(long double number, int ndigits,
int *restrict decpt, int *restrict sign,
char *restrict buf, size_t len);
[[deprecated]] int qfcvt_r(long double number, int ndigits,
int *restrict decpt, int *restrict sign,
char *restrict buf, size_t len);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

/* glibc >= 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
The functions ecvt_r(), fcvt_r(), qecvt_r(), and qfcvt_r() are identi-
cal to ecvt(3), fcvt(3), qecvt(3), and qfcvt(3), 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.
