+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR gcvt ()
+function converts \fInumber\fP to a minimal length null-terminated

+It produces \fIndigit\fP significant digits in either
+.BR printf (3)
+F format or E format.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR gcvt ()
+function returns
+\fIbuf\fP.

+.SH HISTORY
+Marked as LEGACY in POSIX.1-2001.
+POSIX.1-2008 removed it,
+recommending the use of
+.BR sprintf (3)
+instead (though
+.BR snprintf (3)
+may be preferable).
