27 string representation of a floating point number. FLAGS affect the
28 formatting of the number. Pad the output string with spaces as
29 necessary to width WIDTH bytes, in the style of printf. WIDTH must
30 be nonnegative. X is the floating-point number to be converted.
32 Return the number of bytes stored into BUF, not counting the
33 terminating null. However, do not overrun BUF: if BUF is too
34 small, return a fairly tight (but not necessarily exact) upper
35 bound on the value that would have been returned if BUF had been
36 big enough. If SIZE is zero, BUF may be a null pointer. On error
37 (e.g., returned value would exceed INT_MAX), return -1 and set
