For a 'dumb' gcvt() (you'd really want to check string sizes, etc..)
you can use sprintf(), e.g.
gcvt(d, n, str)
becomes:
sprintf(str,"%f", d);
[you can get really fancy with the format specification and handle
the number of digits, etc... I'll leave that up to the reader...]
Here's a basename() function - this returns a pointer
within the original string - so don't modify the result
pointer...
char *
basename(string)
char *string;
{
char *start_of_basename;
start_of_basename = string + (strlen(string) - 1);
while(start_of_basename != string) {
if(*start_of_basename == '/') {
break;
}
start_of_basename --;
}
if(start_of_basename == string) {
/* Didn't find anything */
return start_of_basename;
} else {
/* Bump past the '/' and return a pointer */
/* to the basename. */
if(*start_of_basename == '/') start_of_basename++;
return start_of_basename;
}
}
