.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtod
|
|
function converts the initial portion of the string pointed to by
|
|
.Fa nptr
|
|
to
|
|
.Li double
|
|
representation.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtof
|
|
function converts the initial portion of the string pointed to by
|
|
.Fa nptr
|
|
to
|
|
.Li float
|
|
representation.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtold
|
|
function converts the initial portion of the string pointed to by
|
|
.Fa nptr
|
|
to
|
|
.Li long double
|
|
representation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The expected form of the string is an optional plus
|
|
.Pq Ql +
|
|
or minus sign
|
|
.Pq Ql -
|
|
followed by a sequence of digits optionally containing
|
|
a decimal-point character, optionally followed by an exponent.
|
|
An exponent consists of an
|
|
.Sq E
|
|
or
|
|
.Sq e ,
|
|
followed by an optional plus or minus sign, followed by a sequence of digits.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, if the portion of the string following the optional
|
|
plus or minus sign begins with
|
|
.Dq INF
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq NAN ,
|
|
ignoring case, it is interpreted as an infinity or a quiet \*(Na,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
The syntax
|
|
.Dq Xo Pf NAN( Ar "s" ) Xc ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar s
|
|
is an alphanumeric string, produces the same value as the call
|
|
.Fo nan
|
|
.Qq Ar s Ns
|
|
.Fc
|
|
(respectively,
|
|
.Fo nanf
|
|
.Qq Ar s Ns
|
|
.Fc
|
|
and
|
|
.Fo nanl
|
|
.Qq Ar s Ns
|
|
.Fc . )
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In any of the above cases, leading whitespace characters in the
|
|
string (as defined by the
|
|
.Xr isspace 3
|
|
function) are skipped.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtod ,
|
|
.Fn strtof
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn strtold
|
|
functions return the converted value, if any.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa endptr
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
a pointer to the character after the last character used
|
|
in the conversion is stored in the location referenced by
|
|
.Fa endptr .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no conversion is performed, zero is returned and the value of
|
|
.Fa nptr
|
|
is stored in the location referenced by
|
|
.Fa endptr .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the correct value would cause overflow, plus or minus
|
|
.Dv HUGE_VAL
|
|
is returned (according to the sign of the value), and
|
|
.Er ERANGE
|
|
is stored in
|
|
.Va errno .
|
|
If the correct value would cause underflow, zero is returned and
|
|
.Er ERANGE
|
|
is stored in
|
|
.Va errno .
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er ERANGE
|
|
