Tcl_PrintDouble(3TCL)					      Tcl Library Procedures					     Tcl_PrintDouble(3TCL)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       Tcl_PrintDouble - Convert floating value to string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tcl.h>

       Tcl_PrintDouble(interp, value, dst)

ARGUMENTS

       Tcl_Interp   *interp   (in)	Before	Tcl 8.0, the tcl_precision variable in this interpreter controlled the conversion.  As of Tcl 8.0, |
					this argument is ignored and the conversion is controlled by the tcl_precision variable that is now shared |
					by all interpreters.

       double	    value     (in)	Floating-point value to be converted.

       char	    *dst      (out)	Where to store string representing value.  Must have at least TCL_DOUBLE_SPACE characters of storage.
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       Tcl_PrintDouble	generates  a  string  that represents the value of value and stores it in memory at the location given by dst.	It uses %g
       format to generate the string, with one special twist: the string is guaranteed to contain either a ``.'' or an ``e'' so  that  it  doesn't
       look like an integer.  Where %g would generate an integer with no decimal point, Tcl_PrintDouble adds ``.0''.
