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.
