D ESCRIPTION
Reinterprets the integer argument as a floating-point value. This function does not perform a
type conversion, but instead takes the bit pattern stored in the argument, and assumes that
rather than representing an integer, it actually represents a floating-point value. It can be used
to manipulate data from a remote device that might actually have a different data type from
that expected by the communications driver.

This function is passive.
