NAME

       _ldecvt(), _ldfcvt(), _ldgcvt() - convert long-double floating-point number to string

SYNOPSIS

   Obsolescent Interfaces
DESCRIPTION

       converts       value  to  a null-terminated string of ndigit digits and returns a pointer to the string.  The high-order digit is non-zero,
		      unless the value is zero.  The low-order digit is rounded.  The position of the radix character relative to the beginning of
		      the  string  is stored indirectly through decpt (negative means to the left of the returned digits).  The radix character is
		      not included in the returned string.  If the sign of the result is negative, the word pointed to by sign is non-zero; other-
		      wise it is zero.

       is identical to
		      except  that  the  correct  digit has been rounded for printf (FORTRAN F-format) output of the number of digits specified by
		      ndigit.

       Convert the    value to a null-terminated string in the array pointed to by buf and return buf.	It produces ndigit significant	digits	in
		      FORTRAN  F-format  if possible, or E-format otherwise.  A minus sign, if required, and a radix character are included in the
		      returned string.	Trailing zeros are suppressed.	The radix character is determined by the currently loaded NLS  environment
		      (see  setlocale(3C)).   If  has  not  been called successfully, the default NLS environment, "C" is used (see lang(5)).  The
		      default environment specifies a period as the radix character.
