NAME         top

       ecvt_r, fcvt_r, qecvt_r, qfcvt_r - convert a floating-point
       number to a string

LIBRARY         top

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <stdlib.h>

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
   feature_test_macros(7)):

       ecvt_r(), fcvt_r(), qecvt_r(), qfcvt_r():

DESCRIPTION         top

       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).

RETURN VALUE         top

       These functions return 0 on success, and -1 otherwise.

       recommended.
