atof - convert a string to a double-precision number
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <stdlib.h>
double atof(const char *
str);
The call
atof(
str) shall be equivalent to:
strtod(str,(char **)NULL),
except that the handling of errors may differ. If the value cannot be
represented, the behavior is undefined.
The
atof() function shall return the converted value if the value can be
represented.
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
None.
The
atof() function is subsumed by
strtod() but is retained
because it is used extensively in existing code. If the number is not known to
be in range,
strtod() should be used because
atof() is not
required to perform any error checking.
None.
None.
