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);

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).

NOTES

These functions are obsolete. Instead, sprintf(3) is recommended.
