WCSTOD(3)

🎀 WCSTOD(3) — direct from the Library Functions Manual 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, meet the trio: wcstof, wcstod, and wcstold — convert string to float, double or long double. That's the whole name-drop, and honestly? iconic. 💅

📚 LIBRARY 📚

Standard C Library (libc, -lc). She's literally living in libc, no cap. 🫶

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

The summons is giving “copy me exactly”, so here it is with all the restrict energy intact:

#include <wchar.h>

float
wcstof(const wchar_t * restrict nptr, wchar_t ** restrict endptr);

long double
wcstold(const wchar_t * restrict nptr, wchar_t ** restrict endptr);

double
wcstod(const wchar_t * restrict nptr, wchar_t ** restrict endptr);

💬 DESCRIPTION 💬

The wcstof(), wcstod(), and wcstold() functions are the wide-character versions of the strtof(), strtod(), and strtold() functions. For the details, refer to strtod(3) — that's the main character page with the full lore. 🫶

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

• strtod(3)
• wcstol(3)

📜 STANDARDS 📜

The wcstof(), wcstod(), and wcstold() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (“ISO C99”). Slay, standardized. ✅

okay that's the whole page, bestie. This one comes from Debian, dated February 22, 2003, and it's filed under WCSTOD(3) — mwah 💋
