/**
 * @addtogroup Eina_Convert_Group Convert
 *
 * These functions allow you to convert integer or real numbers to
 * string or conversely.
 *
 * To use these functions, you have to call eina_init()
 * first, and eina_shutdown() when eina is not used anymore.
 *
 * @section Eina_Convert_From_Integer_To_Sring Conversion from integer to string
 *
 * To convert an integer to a string in the decimal base,
 * eina_convert_itoa() should be used. If the hexadecimal base is
 * wanted, eina_convert_xtoa() should be used. They all need a buffer
 * sufficiently large to store all the cyphers.
 *
 * Here is an example of use:
 *
 * @code
 * #include <stdlib.h>
 * #include <stdio.h>
 *
 * #include <Eina.h>
 *
 * int main(void)
 * {
 *    char tmp[128];
 *
 *    if (!eina_init())
 *    {
 *        printf ("Error during the initialization of eina.\n");
 *        return EXIT_FAILURE;
 *    }
 *
 *    eina_convert_itoa(45, tmp);
 *    printf("value: %s\n", tmp);
 *    eina_convert_xtoa(0xA1, tmp);
 *    printf("value: %s\n", tmp);
 *
 *    eina_shutdown();
 *
 *    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
 * }
 * @endcode
 *
 * Compile this code with the following command:
 *
 * @code
 * gcc -Wall -o test_eina_convert test_eina.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs eina`
 * @endcode
 *
 * @note
 * The alphabetical cyphers are in lower case.
 *
 * @section Eina_Convert_Double Conversion double / string
 *
 * To convert a double to a string, eina_convert_dtoa() should be
 * used. Like with the integer functions, a buffer must be used. The
 * resulting string has the following format (which is the result
 * obtained with snprintf() and the @%a modifier):
 *
 * @code
 * [-]0xh.hhhhhp[+-]e
 * @endcode
 *
 * To convert a string to a double, eina_convert_atod() should be
 * used. The format of the string must be as above. Then, the double
 * has the following mantiss and exponent:
 *
 * @code
 * mantiss  : [-]hhhhhh
 * exponent : 2^([+-]e - 4 * n)
 * @endcode
 *
 * with n being number of cypers after the point in the string
 * format. To obtain the double number from the mantiss and exponent,
 * use ldexp().
 *
 * Here is an example of use:
 *
 * @code
 * #include <stdlib.h>
 * #include <stdio.h>
 * #include <math.h>
 *
 * #include <Eina.h>
 *
 * int main(void)
 * {
 *    char      tmp[128];
 *    long long int m = 0;
 *    long int  e = 0;
 *    double    r;
 *
 *    if (!eina_init())
 *    {
 *        printf ("Error during the initialization of eina.\n");
 *        return EXIT_FAILURE;
 *    }
 *
 *    printf("initial value : 40.56\n");
 *    eina_convert_dtoa(40.56, tmp);
 *    printf("result dtoa   : %s\n", tmp);

 *    eina_convert_atod(tmp, 128, &m, &e);
 *    r = ldexp((double)m, e);
 *    printf("result atod   : %f\n", r);
 *
 *    eina_shutdown();
 *
 *    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
 * }
 * @endcode
 *
 * Compile this code with the following command:
 *
 * @code
 * gcc -Wall -o test_eina_convert test_eina.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs eina` -lm
 * @endcode
