A
25 function converts the initial portion of the string pointed to by
26-.Fa nptr
27+.Fa str
28 to
29 .Vt double
30 representation.

32 It is equivalent to:
33 .Bd -literal -offset indent
34-strtod(nptr, (char **)NULL);
35+strtod(str, (char **)NULL);

39 character is defined in the program's locale (category
40 .Dv LC_NUMERIC ) .

42+While the
43+.Fn atof
44+function uses the current locale, the
45+.Fn atof_l
46+function may be passed a locale directly. See
