NAME
strfmon —
convert monetary value to
string
LIBRARY
library “libc”
SYNOPSIS
#include
<monetary.h>
ssize_t
strfmon(char
* restrict s, size_t
maxsize, const char *
restrict format,
...);
ssize_t
strfmon_l(char
* restrict s, size_t
maxsize, locale_t
loc, const char *
restrict format,
...);
DESCRIPTION
Thestrfmon()
function places characters into the array pointed to by
s as controlled by the string pointed to by
format. No more than maxsize bytes
are placed into the array.
The
strfmon_l()
function does the same as strfmon() but takes an
explicit locale rather than using the current locale.
The format string is composed of zero or more directives: ordinary
characters (not %), 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 % character. After the
%, the following appear in sequence:
- Zero or more of the following flags:
=f- A ‘
=’ character followed by another character f which is used as the numeric fill character. ^- Do not use grouping characters, regardless of the current locale default.
+- Represent positive values by prefixing them with a positive sign, and negative values by prefixing them with a negative sign. This is the default.
(- Enclose negative values in parentheses.
!- Do not include a currency symbol in the output.
-- Left justify the result. Only valid when a field width is specified.
- An optional minimum field width as a decimal number. By default, there is no minimum width.
- A ‘
#’ sign followed by a decimal number specifying the maximum expected number of digits after the radix character. - A ‘
.’ character followed by a decimal number specifying the number the number of digits after the radix character. - One of the following conversion specifiers:
RETURN VALUES
If the total number of resulting bytes including the terminating
NUL byte is not more than
maxsize, strfmon() returns the
number of bytes placed into the array pointed to by s,
not including the terminating NUL byte. Otherwise,
-1 is returned, the contents of the array are indeterminate, and
errno is set to indicate the error.
The strfmon_l() function returns the same
values as strfmon().
ERRORS
The strfmon() function will fail if:
- [
E2BIG] - Conversion stopped due to lack of space in the buffer.
- [
EINVAL] - The format string is invalid.
- [
ENOMEM] - Not enough memory for temporary buffers.

handle multibyte characters in the format
argument.
