22 /* Parse the initial portion of the string pointed to by NPTR as a floating-
23 point number (in decimal or hexadecimal notation), like in the C locale:
24 accepting only the ASCII digits '0'..'9', and only '.' as decimal point
25 character.
26 If ENDPTR is not NULL, set *ENDPTR to point to the first byte beyond the
27 parsed number or to NPTR if the string does not start with a parsable
28 number.
29 Return value:
30 - If successful, return the value as a float, double, or 'long double',
31 respectively, and don't modify errno.
32 - In case of overflow, return ±HUGE_VAL or ±HUGE_VALL, respectively, and
33 set errno to ERANGE.
34 - In case of underflow, return a value very near to 0 and set errno to
35 ERANGE.
36 - If the string does not start with a number at all, return 0 (and recall
37 that if ENDPTR != NULL, *ENDPTR is set to NPTR), and maybe set errno to
38 EINVAL.
39 - In case of other error, return 0 and set errno, for example to ENOMEM. */
