NAMEecvt, fcvt − convert a floating-point number to a string
LIBRARYStandard C library (libc, −lc)
SYNOPSIS#include <stdlib.h>[[deprecated]] char *ecvt(double number, int ndigits,
int *restrict decpt, int *restrict sign);
[[deprecated]] char *fcvt(double number, int ndigits,

DESCRIPTIONThe ecvt() function converts number to a null-terminated string of ndigits digits (where ndigits is reduced to a system-specific limit determined by the precision of a double), and returns a pointer to the string. The high-order digit is nonzero, unless number is zero. The low order digit is rounded. The string itself does not contain a decimal point; however, the position of the decimal point relative to the start of the string is stored in *decpt. A negative value for *decpt means that the decimal point is to the left of the start of the string. If the sign of number is negative, *sign is set to a nonzero value, otherwise it is set to 0. If number is zero, it is unspecified whether *decpt is 0 or 1. The fcvt() function is identical to ecvt(), except that ndigits specifies the number of digits after the decimal point.
RETURN VALUEBoth the ecvt() and fcvt() functions return a pointer to a static string containing the ASCII representation of number. The static string is overwritten by each call to ecvt() or fcvt().

STANDARDSSVr2; marked as LEGACY in POSIX.1-2001. POSIX.1-2008 removes the specifications of ecvt() and fcvt(), recommending the use of sprintf(3) instead (though snprintf(3) may be preferable).
NOTES Not all locales use a point as the radix character ("decimal point").
