ieee_f() -- General Function (libc) Convert a float from DECVAX to IEEE format int ieee_f(ifp, dfp) float *ifp, *dfp; ieee_f() converts a float from DECVAX format to IEEE format. dfp points to a DECVAX-format float to convert. ifp points to a destination for the converted IEEE value. ifp may be identical to dfp for in-place conversion. The DECVAX significand is truncated, not rounded. ieee_f() always returns zero, because the conversion always succeeds. For a description of the IEEE and DECVAX formats for floating-point numbers, see the Lexicon article for float. See Also decvax_d(), decvax_f(), float, ieee_d(), libc
