.TH strfmon 3 (date) "Linux man-pages (unreleased)"
.SH NAME
strfmon, strfmon_l \- convert monetary value to a string
.SH LIBRARY
Standard C library
.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <monetary.h>
.P
.BI "ssize_t strfmon(char " s "[restrict ." max "], size_t " max ,
.BI " const char *restrict " format ", ...);"
.BI "ssize_t strfmon_l(char " s "[restrict ." max "], size_t " max ", \
locale_t " locale ,
.BI " const char *restrict " format ", ...);"
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR strfmon ()
function formats the specified monetary amount
according to the current locale
and format specification
.I format
and places the
result in the character array
.I s
of size
.IR max .
.P
The
.BR strfmon_l ()
function performs the same task,
but uses
the locale specified by
.IR locale .
The behavior of
.BR strfmon_l ()
is undefined if
.I locale
is the special locale object
.B LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE
(see
.BR duplocale (3))
or is not a valid locale object handle.
.P
Ordinary characters in
.I format
are copied to
.I s
without conversion.
Conversion specifiers are introduced by a \[aq]%\[aq]
character.
Immediately following it there can be zero or more
of the following flags:
.TP
.BI = f
The single-byte character
.I f
is used as the numeric fill character (to be used with
a left precision, see below).
When not specified, the space character is used.
.TP
.B \[ha]
Do not use any grouping characters that might be defined
for the current locale.
By default, grouping is enabled.
.TP
.BR ( " or " +
The ( flag indicates that negative amounts should be enclosed between
parentheses.
The + flag indicates that signs should be handled
in the default way, that is, amounts are preceded by the locale's
sign indication, for example, nothing for positive, "\-" for negative.
.TP
.B !
Omit the currency symbol.
.TP
.B \-
Left justify all fields.
The default is right justification.
.P
Next, there may be a field width: a decimal digit string specifying
a minimum field width in bytes.
The default is 0.
A result smaller than this width is padded with spaces
(on the left, unless the left-justify flag was given).
.P
Next, there may be a left precision of the form "#" followed by
a decimal digit string.
If the number of digits left of the
radix character is smaller than this, the representation is
padded on the left with the numeric fill character.
Grouping characters are not counted in this field width.
.P
Next, there may be a right precision of the form "." followed by
a decimal digit string.
The amount being formatted is rounded to
the specified number of digits prior to formatting.
The default is specified in the
.I frac_digits
and
.I int_frac_digits
items of the current locale.
If the right precision is 0, no radix character is printed.
(The radix character here is determined by
.BR LC_MONETARY ,
and may differ from that specified by
.BR LC_NUMERIC .)
.P
Finally, the conversion specification must be ended with a
conversion character.
The three conversion characters are
.TP
.B %
(In this case, the entire specification must be exactly "%%".)
Put a \[aq]%\[aq] character in the result string.
.TP
.B i
One argument of type
.I double
is converted using the locale's international currency format.
.TP
.B n
One argument of type
.I double
is converted using the locale's national currency format.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR strfmon ()
function returns the number of characters placed
in the array
.IR s ,
not including the terminating null byte,
provided the string, including the terminating null byte, fits.
Otherwise, it sets
.I errno
to
.BR E2BIG ,
returns \-1, and the contents of the array is undefined.
