@node strtoflt128
@section @code{strtoflt128} --- Convert from string

The function @code{strtoflt128} converts a string into a
@code{__float128} number.

@table @asis
@item Syntax
@code{__float128 strtoflt128 (const char *s, char **sp)}

@item @emph{Arguments}:
@multitable @columnfractions .15 .70
@item @var{s}  @tab input string
@item @var{sp} @tab the address of the next character in the string
@end multitable

The argument @var{sp} contains, if not @code{NULL}, the address of the
next character following the parts of the string, which have been read.

@item Example
@smallexample
#include <quadmath.h>

int main ()
@{
  __float128 r;

  r = strtoflt128 ("1.2345678", NULL);

  return 0;
@}
@end smallexample
@end table


@node quadmath_snprintf
@section @code{quadmath_snprintf} --- Convert to string

The function @code{quadmath_snprintf} converts a @code{__float128} floating-point
number into a string.  It is a specialized alternative to @code{snprintf}, where
the format string is restricted to a single conversion specifier with @code{Q}
modifier and conversion specifier @code{e}, @code{E}, @code{f}, @code{F}, @code{g},
@code{G}, @code{a} or @code{A}, with no extra characters before or after the
conversion specifier.  The @code{%m$} or @code{*m$} style must not be used in
the format.

@table @asis
@item Syntax
@code{int quadmath_snprintf (char *s, size_t size, const char *format, ...)}

@item @emph{Arguments}:
@multitable @columnfractions .15 .70
@item @var{s}    @tab output string
@item @var{size} @tab byte size of the string, including tailing NUL
@item @var{format} @tab conversion specifier string
@end multitable

@item Note
On some targets when supported by the C library hooks are installed
for @code{printf} family of functions, so that @code{printf ("%Qe", 1.2Q);}
etc.@: works too.

@item Example
@smallexample
#include <quadmath.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
@{
  __float128 r;
  int prec = 20;
  int width = 46;
  char buf[128];

  r = 2.0q;
  r = sqrtq (r);
  int n = quadmath_snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "%+-#*.20Qe", width, r);
  if ((size_t) n < sizeof buf)
    printf ("%s\n", buf);
    /* Prints: +1.41421356237309504880e+00 */
  quadmath_snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "%Qa", r);
  if ((size_t) n < sizeof buf)
    printf ("%s\n", buf);
    /* Prints: 0x1.6a09e667f3bcc908b2fb1366ea96p+0 */
  n = quadmath_snprintf (NULL, 0, "%+-#46.*Qe", prec, r);
