NAME
       qecvt, qfcvt, qgcvt - convert a floating-point number to a string.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

       char *qecvt(long double number, int ndigits, int *decpt, int *sign);

       char *qfcvt(long double number, int ndigits, int *decpt, int *sign);

       char *qgcvt(long double number, int ndigit, char *buf);

DESCRIPTION
       The  functions  qecvt,  qfcvt and qgcvt are identical to ecvt, fcvt and
       gcvt respectively, except that they use a long double argument  number.
       See ecvt(3) and gcvt(3).

NOTES
       These functions are obsolete. Instead, sprintf() is recommended.
