🦋 WCSTOLD(3P) — the wide-char-to-long-double glow-up 🦋

okay bestie, so this little cutie lives in the POSIX Programmer's Manual, and I need you to clock something before we even start:

⚠️ PROLOG moment ⚠️ This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.

✨ NAME ✨

wcstold — convert a wide-character string to a double-precision number 💅

like. she takes wide chars and she gives u a double-precision number. that's the whole job. iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <wchar.h>

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

look at her. two params. both restrict. she knows what she wants. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so listen — Refer to wcstod().

that's it. that's the whole description. she's not gonna explain herself twice, she's pointing u at her sibling wcstod() and saying go read that, it's giving the same energy. 😭
