295The function @code{quadmath_snprintf} converts a @code{__float128} floating-point
296number into a string.  It is a specialized alternative to @code{snprintf}, where
297the format string is restricted to a single conversion specifier with @code{Q}
298modifier and conversion specifier @code{e}, @code{E}, @code{f}, @code{F}, @code{g},
299@code{G}, @code{a} or @code{A}, with no extra characters before or after the
300conversion specifier.  The @code{%m$} or @code{*m$} style must not be used in
301the format.
