Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

ecvt_r(), fcvt_r(), qecvt_r(), qfcvt_r():

Description

The functions ecvt_r(), fcvt_r(), qecvt_r(), and qfcvt_r() are identical to ecvt(3), fcvt(3), qecvt(3), and qfcvt(3), respectively, except that they do not return their result in a static buffer, but instead use the supplied buf of size len. See ecvt(3) and qecvt(3).

Return Value

These functions return 0 on success, and -1 otherwise.

Attributes

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

Conforming to

These functions are GNU extensions.

Notes
