PR_strtod
=========
Converts the prefix of a decimal string to the nearest double-precision
floating point number.
Syntax
------
.. code::
#include <prdtoa.h>
PRFloat64 PR_strtod(const char *s00, char **se);
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
The function has these parameters:
``s00``
The input string to be scanned.
``se``
A pointer that, if not ``NULL``, will be assigned the address of the
last character scanned in the input string.
Returns
~~~~~~~
The result of the conversion is a ``PRFloat64`` value equivalent to the
input string. If the parameter ``se`` is not ``NULL`` the location it
references is also set.
Description
-----------
:ref:`PR_strtod` converts the prefix of the input decimal string pointed to
by ``s00`` to a nearest double-precision floating point number. Ties are
broken by the IEEE round-even rule. The string is scanned up to the
first unrecognized character. If the value of ``se`` is not
(``char **``) ``NULL``, :ref:`PR_strtod` stores a pointer to the character
terminating the scan in ``*se``. If the answer would overflow, a
properly signed ``HUGE_VAL`` (infinity) is returned. If the answer would
underflow, a properly signed 0 is returned. In both cases,
``PR_GetError()`` returns the error code ``PR_RANGE_ERROR``. If no
number can be formed, ``se`` is set to ``s00``, and 0 is returned.
