+
+The @code{c-strtold} module contains a string to number (@samp{long double})
+conversion function operating on single-byte character strings, that operates
+as if the locale encoding was ASCII.
+(The "C" locale on many systems has the locale encoding "ASCII".)
+
+The function is:
+@smallexample
+extern long double c_strtold (const char *string, char **endp);
+@end smallexample
+
+In particular, only a period @samp{.} is accepted as decimal point, even
+when the current locale's notion of decimal point is a comma @samp{,}.
