|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In stdlib.h
|
|
.Ft double
|
|
.Fn strtod "const char * restrict nptr" "char ** restrict endptr"
|
|
.Ft float
|
|
.Fn strtof "const char * restrict nptr" "char ** restrict endptr"
|
|
.Ft long double
|
|
.Fn strtold "const char * restrict nptr" "char ** restrict endptr"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These conversion
|
|
functions convert the initial portion of the string
|
|
pointed to by
|
|
.Fa nptr
|
|
to
|
|
.Vt double ,
|
|
.Vt float ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Vt long double
|
|
representation, respectively.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The expected form of the string is an optional plus (``+'') or minus
|
|
sign (``\-'') followed by either:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
a decimal significand consisting of a sequence of decimal digits
|
|
optionally containing a decimal-point character, or
|
|
.It
|
|
a hexadecimal significand consisting of a ``0X'' or ``0x'' followed
|
|
by a sequence of hexadecimal digits optionally containing a
|
|
decimal-point character.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In both cases, the significand may be optionally followed by an
|
|
exponent.
|
|
An exponent consists of an ``E'' or ``e'' (for decimal
|
|
constants) or a ``P'' or ``p'' (for hexadecimal constants),
|
|
followed by an optional plus or minus sign, followed by a
|
|
sequence of decimal digits.
|
|
For decimal constants, the exponent indicates the power of 10 by
|
|
which the significand should be scaled.
|
|
For hexadecimal constants, the scaling is instead done by powers
|
|
of 2.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, if the portion of the string following the optional
|
|
plus or minus sign begins with ``INFINITY'' or ``NAN'', ignoring
|
|
case, it is interpreted as an infinity or a quiet NaN, respectively.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In any of the above cases, 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 ,
|
|
.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 ,
|
|
.Dv HUGE_VALF ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv HUGE_VALL
|
|
is returned (according to the sign and type of the return 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
|
|
