ECVT_R(3) Linux Programmer's Manual ECVT_R(3)
ecvt_r, fcvt_r, qecvt_r, qfcvt_r - convert a floating-point number to
a string
#include <stdlib.h>
int ecvt_r(double number, int ndigits, int *decpt,
int *sign, char *buf, size_t len);
int fcvt_r(double number, int ndigits, int *decpt,
int *sign, char *buf, size_t len);
int qecvt_r(long double number, int ndigits, int *decpt,
int *sign, char *buf, size_t len);
int qfcvt_r(long double number, int ndigits, int *decpt,
int *sign, char *buf, size_t len);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
ecvt_r(), fcvt_r(), qecvt_r(), qfcvt_r():
/* Glibc since 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE
The functions ecvt_r(), fcvt_r(), qecvt_r(), and qfcvt_r() are
identical 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).
These functions return 0 on success, and -1 otherwise.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).

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