.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In stdlib.h
|
|
.Ft double
|
|
.Fn strtod "const char *restrict nptr" "char **restrict endptr"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtod
|
|
function converts the initial portion of the string
|
|
pointed to by
|
|
.Fa nptr
|
|
to
|
|
.Em double
|
|
representation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The expected form of the string is an optional plus (``+'') or minus
|
|
sign (``\-'') followed by a sequence of digits optionally containing
|
|
a decimal-point character, optionally followed by an exponent.
|
|
An exponent consists of an ``E'' or ``e'', followed by an optional plus
|
|
or minus sign, followed by a sequence of digits.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Leading white-space characters in the string (as defined by the
|
|
.Xr isspace 3
|
|
function) are skipped.
|
|
The decimal point
|
|
character is defined in the program's locale (category
|
|
.Dv LC_NUMERIC ) .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtod
|
|
function returns 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
