char *ecvt(value, ndigit, decpt, sign) double value; int ndigit, *decpt, *sign;
char *fcvt(value, ndigit, decpt, sign) double value; int ndigit, *decpt, *sign;
char *gcvt(value, ndigit, buf) double value; char *buf;
Fcvt is identical to ecvt, except that the correct digit has been rounded for Fortran F-format output of the number of digits specified by \(*_ndigits.
Gcvt converts the value to a null-terminated ASCII string in buf and returns a pointer to buf. It attempts to produce ndigit significant digits in Fortran F format if possible, otherwise E format, ready for printing. Trailing zeros may be suppressed.
