+.Sh NAME
+.Nm strtod
+.Nd convert
+.Tn ASCII
+string to double
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <stdlib.h>
+.Ft double
+.Fn strtod "const char *nptr" "char **endptr"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn strtod
+function converts the initial portion of the string
+pointed to by
+.Fa nptr
+to
+.Em double
+representation.
+.Pp
+The expected form of the string is an optional plus (``+'') or minus
+sign (``-'') followed by a sequence of digits optionally containing
+a decimal-point character, optionally followed by an exponent.
+An exponent consists of an ``E'' or ``e'', followed by an optional plus
+or minus sign, followed by a sequence of digits.
+.Pp
+Leading white-space characters in the string (as defined by the
+.Xr isspace 3
+function) are skipped.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn strtod
+function returns the converted value, if any.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa endptr
+is not
+.Dv NULL ,
+a pointer to the character after the last character used
+in the conversion is stored in the location referenced by
+.Fa endptr .
+.Pp
+If no conversion is performed, zero is returned and the value of
+.Fa nptr
+is stored in the location referenced by
+.Fa endptr .
+.Pp
+If the correct value would cause overflow, plus or minus
+.Dv HUGE_VAL
+is returned (according to the sign of the value), and
+.Dv ERANGE
+is stored in
+.Va errno .
+If the correct value would cause underflow, zero is
+returned and
+.Dv ERANGE
+is stored in
+.Va errno .
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er ERANGE
+Overflow or underflow occurred.
