  82 .sp
  83 .LP
  84 The \fBwcstod()\fR, \fBwcstof()\fR, and \fBwcstold()\fR functions convert the
  85 initial portion of the wide-character string pointed to by \fInptr\fR to
  86 \fBdouble\fR, \fBfloat\fR, and \fBlong double\fR representation, respectively.
  87 They first decompose the input wide-character string into three parts:
  88 .RS +4
  89 .TP
  90 1.
  91 An initial, possibly empty, sequence of white-space wide-character codes (as
  92 specified by \fBiswspace\fR(3C))
  93 .RE
  94 .RS +4
  95 .TP
  96 2.
  97 A subject sequence interpreted as a floating-point constant or representing
  98 infinity or NaN
  99 .RE
 100 .RS +4
 101 .TP
 102 3.
 103 A final wide-character string of one or more unrecognized wide-character


 136 .TP
 137 .ie t \(bu
 138 .el o
 139 One of NAN or NAN(\fIn-wchar-sequence\fR(\fIopt\fR)), or any other wide string
 140 ignoring case in the NAN part, where:
 141 .sp
 142 .in +2
 143 .nf
 144 n-wchar-sequence:
 145     digit
 146     nondigit
 147     n-wchar-sequence digit
 148     n-wchar-sequence nondigit
 149 .fi
 150 .in -2
 151 
 152 .RE
 153 .sp
 154 .LP
 155 In default mode for \fBwcstod()\fR, only decimal, INF/INFINITY, and
 156 NAN/NAN(\fIn-char-sequence\fR) forms are recognized. In C99/SUSv3 mode,
 157 hexadecimal strings are also recognized.
 158 .sp
 159 .LP
 160 In default mode for \fBwcstod()\fR, the \fIn-char-sequence\fR in the
 161 NAN(\fIn-char-equence\fR) form can contain any character except ')' (right
 162 parenthesis) or '\e0' (null).  In C99/SUSv3 mode, the \fIn-char-sequence\fR can
 163 contain only upper and lower case letters, digits, and '_' (underscore).
 164 .sp
 165 .LP
 166 The \fBwcstof()\fR and \fBwcstold()\fR functions always function in
 167 C99/SUSv3-conformant mode.
 168 .sp
 169 .LP
 170 The subject sequence is defined as the longest initial subsequence of the input
 171 wide string, starting with the first non-white-space wide character, that is of
 172 the expected form. The subject sequence contains no wide characters if the
 173 input wide string is not of the expected form.
 174 .sp
 175 .LP
 176 If the subject sequence has the expected form for a floating-point number, the
 177 sequence of wide characters starting with the first digit or the radix
 178 character (whichever occurs first) is interpreted as a floating constant
 179 according to the rules of the C language, except that the radix character is
 180 used in place of a period, and that if neither an exponent part nor a radix
 181 character appears in a decimal floating-point number, or if a binary exponent
 182 part does not appear in a hexadecimal floating-point number, an exponent part


 198 The radix character is defined in the program's locale (category
 199 \fBLC_NUMERIC\fR). In the POSIX locale, or in a locale where the radix
 200 character is not defined, the radix character defaults to a period ('.').
 201 .sp
 202 .LP
 203 If the subject sequence is empty or does not have the expected form, no
 204 conversion is performed; the value of  \fInptr\fR is stored in the object
 205 pointed to by \fIendptr\fR, provided that  \fIendptr\fR is not a null pointer.
 206 .sp
 207 .LP
 208 The \fBwcstod()\fR function does not change the setting of \fBerrno\fR if
 209 successful.
 210 .sp
 211 .LP
 212 The \fBwstod()\fR function is identical to \fBwcstod()\fR.
 213 .sp
 214 .LP
 215 The \fBwatof\fR(\fIstr\fR) function is equivalent to \fBwstod(\fR\fInptr\fR\fB,
 216 (wchar_t **)NULL)\fR.
 217 .SH RETURN VALUES
 218 .sp
 219 .LP
 220 Upon successful completion, these functions return the converted value. If no
 221 conversion could be performed, \fB0\fR is returned.
 222 .sp
 223 .LP
 224 If the correct value is outside the range of representable values,
 225 \fB\(+-HUGE_VAL\fR, \fB\(+-HUGE_VALF\fR, or \fB\(+-HUGE_VALL\fR is returned
 226 (according to the sign of the value), a floating point overflow exception is
 227 raised, and \fBerrno\fR is set to \fBERANGE\fR.
 228 .sp
 229 .LP
 230 If the correct value would cause an underflow, the correctly rounded result
 231 (which may be normal, subnormal, or zero) is returned, a floating point
 232 underflow exception is raised, and \fBerrno\fR is set to \fBERANGE\fR.
 233 .SH ERRORS
 234 .sp
 235 .LP
 236 The \fBwcstod()\fR and \fBwstod()\fR functions will fail if:
 237 .sp
 238 .ne 2
 239 .na
 240 \fB\fBERANGE\fR\fR

 252 \fB\fBEINVAL\fR\fR
 253 .ad
 254 .RS 10n
 255 No conversion could be performed.
 256 .RE
 257 
 258 .SH USAGE
 259 .sp
 260 .LP
 261 Because 0 is returned on error and is also a valid return on success, an
 262 application wishing to check for error situations should set \fBerrno\fR to 0
 263 call \fBwcstod()\fR, \fBwcstof()\fR, \fBwcstold()\fR, or \fBwstod()\fR, then
 264 check  \fBerrno\fR and if it is non-zero, assume an error has occurred.
