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