Can anyone please tell me if there is any nginx specific data type for float such as the one that exists for int (ngx_int_t). I would also like to know how to write the float value to the logs. The type %f prints only the integer portion of the float value.


There is no special float integer type in nginx.
nginx %f format is for double, so you have to cast float to double in ngx_sprintf().
To print fractional portion you should use "%.3f", the maximum supported format is "%18.5f".
