Dt STRFMON 3
Os
Sh NAME
Nm strfmon
Nd convert monetary value to string
Sh LIBRARY
Lb libc
Sh SYNOPSIS
In monetary.h
Ft ssize_t
Fn strfmon "char * restrict s" "size_t maxsize" "const char * restrict format" "..."
Ft ssize_t
Fn strfmon_l "char * restrict s" "size_t maxsize" "locale_t loc" "const char * restrict format" "..."
Sh DESCRIPTION
The
Fn strfmon
function places characters into the array pointed to by
Fa s
as controlled by the string pointed to by
Fa format .
No more than
Fa maxsize
bytes are placed into the array.
Pp
The
Fn strfmon_l
function behaves the same as
Fn strfmon ,
but uses the locale
Fa loc
instead of the process global locale.
Pp
The format string is composed of zero or more directives:
ordinary characters (not
Cm % ) ,
which are copied unchanged to the output stream; and conversion
specifications, each of which results in fetching zero or more subsequent
arguments.
Each conversion specification is introduced by the
Cm %
character.
After the
Cm % ,
the following appear in sequence:
Bl -bullet
It
Zero or more of the following flags:
Bl -tag -width "XXX"
It Cm = Ns Ar f
A
Sq Cm =
character followed by another character
Ar f
which is used as the numeric fill character.
It Cm ^
Do not use grouping characters, regardless of the current locale default.
It Cm +
Represent positive values by prefixing them with a positive sign,
and negative values by prefixing them with a negative sign.
This is the default.
It Cm \&(
Enclose negative values in parentheses.
It Cm \&!
Do not include a currency symbol in the output.
It Cm \-
Left justify the result.
Only valid when a field width is specified.
El
It
An optional minimum field width as a decimal number.
By default, there is no minimum width.
It
A
Sq Cm #
sign followed by a decimal number specifying the maximum
expected number of digits before the radix character.
When this option is used, values that do not exceed the
specified number of digits are formatted so they will be
correctly aligned with other values printed using the same
format.
This includes always leaving space for a possible sign
indicator, even if none is needed for a particular value.
It
A
Sq Cm \&.
character followed by a decimal number specifying the number
of digits after the radix character.
It
One of the following conversion specifiers:
Bl -tag -width "XXX"
It Cm i
The
Vt double
argument is formatted as an international monetary amount.
It Cm n
The
Vt double
argument is formatted as a national monetary amount.
It Cm %
A
Sq Li %
character is written.

Sh RETURN VALUES
If the total number of resulting bytes including the terminating
Dv NULL
byte is not more than
Fa maxsize ,
Fn strfmon
returns the number of bytes placed into the array pointed to by
Fa s ,
not including the terminating
Dv NULL
byte.
Otherwise, \-1 is returned,
the contents of the array are indeterminate,
and
Va errno
is set to indicate the error.
Sh ERRORS
The
Fn strfmon
function will fail if:
Bl -tag -width Er
It Bq Er E2BIG
Conversion stopped due to lack of space in the buffer.
It Bq Er EINVAL
The format string is invalid.
It Bq Er ENOMEM
Not enough memory for temporary buffers.
