PROLOG        top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME        top

       strtod, strtof, strtold — convert a string to a double-precision       number

SYNOPSIS        top

       #include <stdlib.h>       double strtod(const char *restrictnptr, char **restrictendptr);       float strtof(const char *restrictnptr, char **restrictendptr);       long double strtold(const char *restrictnptr, char **restrictendptr);

DESCRIPTION        top

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with       the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements       described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This       volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.       These functions shall convert the initial portion of the string       pointed to bynptr todouble,float, andlong double       representation, respectively. First, they decompose the input       string into three parts:        1. An initial, possibly empty, sequence of white-space characters           (as specified byisspace())        2. A subject sequence interpreted as a floating-point constant or           representing infinity or NaN        3. A final string of one or more unrecognized characters,           including the terminating NUL character of the input string       Then they shall attempt to convert the subject sequence to a       floating-point number, and return the result.       The expected form of the subject sequence is an optional'+'or'-'sign, then one of the following:        *  A non-empty sequence of decimal digits optionally containing a           radix character; then an optional exponent part consisting of           the character'e'or the character'E', optionally followed by           a'+'or'-'character, and then followed by one or more           decimal digits        *  A 0x or 0X, then a non-empty sequence of hexadecimal digits           optionally containing a radix character; then an optional           binary exponent part consisting of the character'p'or the           character'P', optionally followed by a'+'or'-'character,           and then followed by one or more decimal digits        *  One of INF or INFINITY, ignoring case        *  One of NAN or NAN(n-char-sequenceopt), ignoring case in the           NAN part, where:               n-char-sequence:                   digit                   nondigit                   n-char-sequence digit                   n-char-sequence nondigit       The subject sequence is defined as the longest initial subsequence       of the input string, starting with the first non-white-space       character, that is of the expected form. The subject sequence       contains no characters if the input string is not of the expected       form.       If the subject sequence has the expected form for a floating-point       number, the sequence of characters starting with the first digit       or the decimal-point character (whichever occurs first) shall be       interpreted as a floating constant of the C language, except that       the radix character shall be used in place of a period, and that       if neither an exponent part nor a radix character appears in a       decimal floating-point number, or if a binary exponent part does       not appear in a hexadecimal floating-point number, an exponent       part of the appropriate type with value zero is assumed to follow       the last digit in the string. If the subject sequence begins with       a <hyphen-minus>, the sequence shall be interpreted as negated. A       character sequence INF or INFINITY shall be interpreted as an       infinity, if representable in the return type, else as if it were       a floating constant that is too large for the range of the return       type. A character sequence NAN or NAN(n-char-sequenceopt) shall be       interpreted as a quiet NaN, if supported in the return type, else       as if it were a subject sequence part that does not have the       expected form; the meaning of then-char sequences is       implementation-defined. A pointer to the final string is stored in       the object pointed to byendptr, provided thatendptr is not a       null pointer.       If the subject sequence has the hexadecimal form and FLT_RADIX is       a power of 2, the value resulting from the conversion is correctly       rounded.       The radix character is defined in the current locale (categoryLC_NUMERIC).  In the POSIX locale, or in a locale where the radix       character is not defined, the radix character shall default to a       <period> ('.').       In other than the C or POSIX locale, additional locale-specific       subject sequence forms may be accepted.       If the subject sequence is empty or does not have the expected       form, no conversion shall be performed; the value ofnptr is       stored in the object pointed to byendptr, provided thatendptr is       not a null pointer.       These functions shall not change the setting oferrno if       successful.       Since 0 is returned on error and is also a valid return on       success, an application wishing to check for error situations       should seterrno to 0, then callstrtod(),strtof(), orstrtold(),       then checkerrno.

RETURN VALUE        top

       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the       converted value. If no conversion could be performed, 0 shall be       returned, anderrno may be set to[EINVAL].       If the correct value is outside the range of representable values,       ±HUGE_VAL, ±HUGE_VALF, or ±HUGE_VALL shall be returned (according       to the sign of the value), anderrno shall be set to[ERANGE].       If the correct value would cause an underflow, a value whose       magnitude is no greater than the smallest normalized positive       number in the return type shall be returned anderrno set to[ERANGE].

ERRORS        top

       These functions shall fail if:ERANGEThe value to be returned would cause overflow or underflow.       These functions may fail if:EINVALNo conversion could be performed.The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES        top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE        top

       If the subject sequence has the hexadecimal form and FLT_RADIX is       not a power of 2, and the result is not exactly representable, the       result should be one of the two numbers in the appropriate       internal format that are adjacent to the hexadecimal floating       source value, with the extra stipulation that the error should       have a correct sign for the current rounding direction.       If the subject sequence has the decimal form and at most       DECIMAL_DIG (defined in<float.h>) significant digits, the result       should be correctly rounded. If the subject sequenceD has the       decimal form and more than DECIMAL_DIG significant digits,       consider the two bounding, adjacent decimal stringsL andU, both       having DECIMAL_DIG significant digits, such that the values ofL,D, andU satisfyL <=D <=U.  The result should be one of the       (equal or adjacent) values that would be obtained by correctly       roundingL andU according to the current rounding direction, with       the extra stipulation that the error with respect toD should have       a correct sign for the current rounding direction.       The changes tostrtod() introduced by the ISO/IEC 9899:1999       standard can alter the behavior of well-formed applications       complying with the ISO/IEC 9899:1990 standard and thus earlier       versions of this standard. One such example would be:           int           what_kind_of_number (char *s)           {               char *endp;               double d;               long l;               d = strtod(s, &endp);               if (s != endp && *endp == `\0')                   printf("It's a float with value %g\n", d);               else               {                   l = strtol(s, &endp, 0);                   if (s != endp && *endp == `\0')                       printf("It's an integer with value %ld\n", 1);                   else                       return 1;               }               return 0;           }       If the function is called with:           what_kind_of_number ("0x10")       an ISO/IEC 9899:1990 standard-compliant library will result in the       function printing:           It's an integer with value 16       With the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard, the result is:           It's a float with value 16       The change in behavior is due to the inclusion of floating-point       numbers in hexadecimal notation without requiring that either a       decimal point or the binary exponent be present.
