\alias{format.pval}
\usage{
format.pval(pv, digits = max(1, getOption("digits") - 2),
            eps = .Machine$double.eps, na.form = "NA")
}
\arguments{
  \item{pv}{a numeric vector.}
  \item{digits}{how many significant digits are to be used.}
  \item{eps}{a numerical tolerance: see Details.}
  \item{na.form}{character representation of \code{NA}s.}
}
\value{

\details{
  \code{format.pval} is mainly an auxiliary function for
  \code{\link{print.summary.lm}} etc., and does separate formatting for
  fixed, floating point and very small values; those less than
  \code{eps} are formatted as \code{"< [eps]"} (where \dQuote{[eps]}
  stands for \code{format(eps, digits)}).
}
\examples{
format.pval(c(runif(5), pi^-100, NA))
format.pval(c(0.1, 0.0001, 1e-27))
