/* Store into BUF (of size BUFSIZE) an accurate minimal-precision
   string representation of a floating point number.  FLAGS affect the
   formatting of the number.  Pad the output string with spaces as
   necessary to width WIDTH bytes, in the style of printf.  WIDTH must
   be nonnegative.  X is the floating-point number to be converted.

   Return the number of bytes stored into BUF, not counting the
   terminating null.  However, do not overrun BUF: if BUF is too
   small, return a fairly tight (but not necessarily exact) upper
   bound on the value that would have been returned if BUF had been
   big enough.  If SIZE is zero, BUF may be a null pointer.  On error
   (e.g., returned value would exceed INT_MAX), return -1 and set
   errno.

   Example:

     char buf[DBL_BUFSIZE_BOUND];
     int r = dtoastr (buf, sizeof buf, 0, 0, 0.1);

   In the C locale, this sets R to 3 and stores "0.1" into BUF.  */
