 .Sh SYNOPSIS
 .In stdlib.h
 .Ft double
-.Fn atof "const char *str"
-.In xlocale.h
-.Ft double
-.Fn atof_l "const char *str" "locale_t loc"
+.Fn atof "const char *nptr"
 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The
 .Fn atof
 function converts the initial portion of the string pointed to by
-.Fa str
+.Fa nptr
 to
 .Vt double
 representation.
 .Pp
 It is equivalent to:
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
-strtod(str, (char **)NULL);
+strtod(nptr, (char **)NULL);
 .Ed
 .Pp
 The decimal point
 character is defined in the program's locale (category
 .Dv LC_NUMERIC ) .
-.Pp
-While the
-.Fn atof
-function uses the current locale, the
-.Fn atof_l
-function may be passed a locale directly. See
-.Xr xlocale 3
-for more information.
 .Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
 The
 .Fn atof
-and
-.Fn atof_l
-functions are thread-safe and async-cancel-safe.
+function is not thread-safe and also not async-cancel-safe.
 .Pp
 The
-.Fn strtod 
-and 
-.Fn strtod_l
-functions are recommended instead of 
 .Fn atof
-and
-.Fn atof_l
-functions, especially in new code.
+function has been deprecated by
+.Fn strtod
+and should not be used in new code.
