SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

       char *qfcvt(long double number, int ndigits, int *decpt, int *sign);

       char *qgcvt(long double number, int ndigit, char *buf);

DESCRIPTION
       The  functions  qecvt, qfcvt and qgcvt are identical to ecvt, fcvt and
       gcvt respectively, except that they use a long double argument number.
