qecvt(3) Library Functions Manual qecvt(3)
qecvt, qfcvt, qgcvt - convert a floating-point number to a string
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#include <stdlib.h> [[deprecated]] char *qecvt(long double number, int ndigits, int *restrict decpt, int *restrict sign); [[deprecated]] char *qfcvt(long double number, int ndigits, int *restrict decpt, int *restrict sign); [[deprecated]] char *qgcvt(long double number, int ndigit, char *buf); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): qecvt(), qfcvt(), qgcvt(): Since glibc 2.19: _DEFAULT_SOURCE In glibc up to and including 2.19: _SVID_SOURCE
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).
