<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">#include <stdlib.h>
|
|
double atof(const char *<var>s</var>);
|
|
float atoff(const char *<var>s</var>);
|
|
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
|
|
<code>atof</code> converts the initial portion of a string to a <code>double</code>.
|
|
<code>atoff</code> converts the initial portion of a string to a <code>float</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The functions parse the character string <var>s</var>,
|
|
locating a substring which can be converted to a floating-point
|
|
value. The substring must match the format:
|
|
</p><div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> [+|-]<var>digits</var>[.][<var>digits</var>][(e|E)[+|-]<var>digits</var>]
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>The substring converted is the longest initial
|
|
fragment of <var>s</var> that has the expected format, beginning with
|
|
the first non-whitespace character. The substring
|
|
is empty if <code>str</code> is empty, consists entirely
|
|
of whitespace, or if the first non-whitespace character is
|
|
something other than <code>+</code>, <code>-</code>, <code>.</code>, or a digit.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><code>atof(<var>s</var>)</code> is implemented as <code>strtod(<var>s</var>, NULL)</code>.
|
|
<code>atoff(<var>s</var>)</code> is implemented as <code>strtof(<var>s</var>, NULL)</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
|
|
<code>atof</code> returns the converted substring value, if any, as a
|
|
<code>double</code>; or <code>0.0</code>, if no conversion could be performed.
|
|
If the correct value is out of the range of representable values, plus
|
|
or minus <code>HUGE_VAL</code> is returned, and <code>ERANGE</code> is stored in
|
|
<code>errno</code>.
|
|
If the correct value would cause underflow, <code>0.0</code> is returned
|
|
and <code>ERANGE</code> is stored in <code>errno</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><code>atoff</code> obeys the same rules as <code>atof</code>, except that it
|
|
returns a <code>float</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<p><strong>Portability</strong><br>
|
|
<code>atof</code> is ANSI C. <code>atof</code>, <code>atoi</code>, and <code>atol</code> are subsumed by <code>strod</code>
|
|
and <code>strol</code>, but are used extensively in existing code. These functions are
|
|
less reliable, but may be faster if the argument is verified to be in a valid
|
|
range.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Supporting OS subroutines required: <code>close</code>, <code>fstat</code>, <code>isatty</code>,
|
|
<code>lseek</code>, <code>read</code>, <code>sbrk</code>, <code>write</code>.
|
|
