NAME
atof - convert a string to a double
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
double atof(const char *nptr);
DESCRIPTION
The atof() function converts the initial portion of the string pointed
to by nptr to double. The behavior is the same as
strtod(nptr, NULL);
except that atof() does not detect errors.
RETURN VALUE
The converted value.
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
The atof() function is thread-safe with exceptions. It can be safely
used in multithreaded applications, as long as setlocale(3) is not
called to change the locale during its execution.
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, POSIX.1-2001, 4.3BSD, C89, C99.
