ECVT(3) Library Functions Manual ECVT(3)NAME
ecvt, fcvt, gcvt - output conversion
SYNOPSIS
char *ecvt(value, ndigit, decpt, sign)
double value;
int ndigit, *decpt, *sign;
char *fcvt(value, ndigit, decpt, sign)
double value;
int ndigit, *decpt, *sign;
char *gcvt(value, ndigit, buf)
double value;
char *buf;
DESCRIPTION
Ecvt converts the value to a null-terminated string of ndigit ASCII digits and returns a pointer thereto. The position of the decimal
point relative to the beginning of the string is stored indirectly through decpt (negative means to the left of the returned digits). If
the sign of the result is negative, the word pointed to by sign is non-zero, otherwise it is zero. The low-order digit is rounded.
Fcvt is identical to ecvt, except that the correct digit has been rounded for Fortran F-format output of the number of digits specified by
ndigits.
Gcvt converts the value to a null-terminated ASCII string in buf and returns a pointer to buf. It attempts to produce ndigit significant
digits in Fortran F format if possible, otherwise E format, ready for printing. Trailing zeros may be suppressed.
SEE ALSO printf(3)BUGS
The return values point to static data whose content is overwritten by each call.

Hi all,
i am trying to use C in unix platform to convert a double variable (floating point) to a string variable.
i tried using sprintf, ecvt, fcvt,gcvt.
but all gave me funny output or altered the content.
does anyone know how to convert the data and keep the original content.
