RFC: man-page for strfrom functions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

The strfrom class of functions convert a floating-point value into string. It is recently introduced in Glibc (see commit 6962682ffe5e) and will be in version 2.25.

I've prepared a patch to add strfrom.3 in the man-pages but I'd like to discuss a point for the contribution beforehand:

- strfrom* is similar to snprintf() except for the format string. For instance, it doesn't have the length modifier and accept just a subset of conversion specifiers.

That said, I've doubt if wouldn't be better to place strfrom documentation at snprintf man-page (which is actually printf's) rather than on its own page.

What do you advice me?

- Wainer
