260 @section @code{strtoflt128} --- Convert from string
262 The function @code{strtoflt128} converts a string into a
263 @code{__float128} number.
267 @code{__float128 strtoflt128 (const char *s, char **sp)}
269 @item @emph{Arguments}:

271 @item @var{s} @tab input string
272 @item @var{sp} @tab the address of the next character in the string
275 The argument @var{sp} contains, if not @code{NULL}, the address of the
276 next character following the parts of the string, which have been read.

295 @section @code{quadmath_snprintf} --- Convert to string
297 The function @code{quadmath_snprintf} converts a @code{__float128} floating-point
298 number into a string. It is a specialized alternative to @code{snprintf}, where
299 the format string is restricted to a single conversion specifier with @code{Q}
300 modifier and conversion specifier @code{e}, @code{E}, @code{f}, @code{F}, @code{g},
301 @code{G}, @code{a} or @code{A}, with no extra characters before or after the
302 conversion specifier. The @code{%m$} or @code{*m$} style must not be used in
307 @code{int quadmath_snprintf (char *s, size_t size, const char *format, ...)}
309 @item @emph{Arguments}:
310 @multitable @columnfractions .15 .70
311 @item @var{s} @tab output string
312 @item @var{size} @tab byte size of the string, including trailing NUL
313 @item @var{format} @tab conversion specifier string
317 On some targets when supported by the C library hooks are installed
318 for @code{printf} family of functions, so that @code{printf ("%Qe", 1.2Q);}
