.Sh NAME
.Nm structs_type_float ,
.Nm structs_type_double
.Nd structs types for floating point values
.Sh LIBRARY
PDEL Library (libpdel, \-lpdel)
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/types.h
.In pdel/structs/structs.h
.In pdel/structs/type/float.h
.Vt extern const struct structs_type structs_type_float ;
.Vt extern const struct structs_type structs_type_double ;
.Sh DESCRIPTION
These are
.Xr structs 3
types for floating point values stored in variables of type
.Li float
and
.Li double .
.Pp
The ASCII form of these types is as produced by
.Xr printf 3
using the
.Li %g
format.
.Sh SEE ALSO

.Xr structs_type 3
.Sh HISTORY
The PDEL library was developed at Packet Design, LLC.

.Sh BUGS
These types do not correct for byte-order in the binary representation.
Therefore, their binary representations are not necessarily byte-order
independent.
