Function
GLibstrtod
Declaration [src]
gdouble
g_strtod (
const gchar* nptr,
gchar** endptr
)
Description [src]
Converts a string to a floating point value.
It calls the standard strtod() function to handle the conversion, but
if the string is not completely converted it attempts the conversion
again with g_ascii_strtod(), and returns the best match.
This function should seldom be used. The normal situation when reading
numbers not for human consumption is to use g_ascii_strtod(). Only when
you know that you must expect both locale formatted and C formatted numbers
should you use this. Make sure that you don’t pass strings such as comma
separated lists of values, since the commas may be interpreted as a decimal
point in some locales, causing unexpected results.

NULL, it returns the character after the last character used in the conversion.The argument will be set by the function. The argument can be NULL.The returned data is owned by the function. The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
