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

  41    Example:
  42
  43      char buf[DBL_BUFSIZE_BOUND];
  44      int r = dtoastr (buf, sizeof buf, 0, 0, 0.1);
  45
  46    In the C locale, this sets R to 3 and stores "0.1" into BUF.  */
