A copy of the license is included in the ``GNU Free @c Documentation License'' file as part of this distribution. The @code{c-strtold} module contains a string to number (@samp{long double}) conversion function operating on single-byte character strings, that operates as if the locale encoding was ASCII. (The "C" locale on many systems has the locale encoding "ASCII".) The function is: @smallexample extern long double c_strtold (const char *string, char **endp); @end smallexample In particular, only a period @samp{.} is accepted as decimal point, even when the current locale's notion of decimal point is a comma @samp{,}.
