.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.
