| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| The functions |
| .BR qecvt (), |
| .BR qfcvt (), |
| and |
| .BR qgcvt () |
| are identical to |
| .BR ecvt (3), |
| .BR fcvt (3), |
| and |
| .BR gcvt (3) |
| respectively, except that they use a |
| .I "long double" |
| argument |
| .IR number . |
| See |
| .BR ecvt (3) |
| and |
| .BR gcvt (3). |
