iieeeeee_ff() -- General Function (libc)

Convert a float from DECVAX to IEEE format
iinntt
iieeeeee_ff(_i_f_p, _d_f_p)
ffllooaatt *_i_f_p, *_d_f_p;

iieeeeee_ff() converts a ffllooaatt from DECVAX format to IEEE format.  _d_f_p points to
a  DECVAX-format ffllooaatt  to convert.   _i_f_p points to  a destination  for the
converted IEEE value.  _i_f_p may be identical to _d_f_p for in-place conversion.
The DECVAX significand is truncated, not rounded.

iieeeeee_ff() always returns zero, because the conversion always succeeds.

For  a  description  of the  IEEE  and  DECVAX  formats for  floating-point
numbers, see the Lexicon article for ffllooaatt.
