28.Dt STRFMON 3
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm strfmon ,
32.Nm strfmon_l
33.Nd convert monetary value to string
34.Sh LIBRARY
35.Lb libc
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In monetary.h
38.Ft ssize_t
39.Fn strfmon "char * restrict s" "size_t maxsize" "const char * restrict format" "..."
40.In xlocale.h
41.Ft ssize_t
42.Fn strfmon_l "char * restrict s" "size_t maxsize" "locale_t loc" "const char * restrict format" "..."
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn strfmon
46function places characters into the array pointed to by
47.Fa s
48as controlled by the string pointed to by
49.Fa format .
50No more than
51.Fa maxsize
52bytes are placed into the array.
53.Pp
54The
55.Fn strfmon_l
56function does the same as
57.Fn strfmon
58but takes an explicit locale rather than using the current locale.
59.Pp
60The format string is composed of zero or more directives:
61ordinary characters (not
62.Cm % ) ,
63which are copied unchanged to the output stream; and conversion
64specifications, each of which results in fetching zero or more subsequent
65arguments.
66Each conversion specification is introduced by the
67.Cm %
68character.
69After the
70.Cm % ,
71the following appear in sequence:
72.Bl -bullet
73.It
74Zero or more of the following flags:
75.Bl -tag -width "XXX"
76.It Cm = Ns Ar f
77A
78.Sq Cm =
79character followed by another character
80.Ar f
81which is used as the numeric fill character.
82.It Cm ^
83Do not use grouping characters, regardless of the current locale default.
84.It Cm +
85Represent positive values by prefixing them with a positive sign,
86and negative values by prefixing them with a negative sign.
87This is the default.
88.It Cm \&(
89Enclose negative values in parentheses.
90.It Cm \&!
91Do not include a currency symbol in the output.
92.It Cm \-
93Left justify the result.
94Only valid when a field width is specified.
95.El
96.It
97An optional minimum field width as a decimal number.
98By default, there is no minimum width.
99.It
100A
101.Sq Cm #
102sign followed by a decimal number specifying the maximum
103expected number of digits after the radix character.
104.It
105A
106.Sq Cm \&.
107character followed by a decimal number specifying the number
108of digits after the radix character.
109.It
110One of the following conversion specifiers:
111.Bl -tag -width "XXX"
112.It Cm i
113The
114.Vt double
115argument is formatted as an international monetary amount.
116.It Cm n
117The
118.Vt double
119argument is formatted as a national monetary amount.
120.It Cm %
121A
122.Sq Li %
123character is written.
124.El
125.El
126.Sh RETURN VALUES
127If the total number of resulting bytes including the terminating
128.Dv NUL
129byte is not more than
130.Fa maxsize ,
131.Fn strfmon
132returns the number of bytes placed into the array pointed to by
133.Fa s ,
134not including the terminating
135.Dv NUL
136byte.
137Otherwise, \-1 is returned,
138the contents of the array are indeterminate,
139and
140.Va errno
141is set to indicate the error.
142.Pp
143The
144.Fn strfmon_l
145function returns the same values as
146.Fn strfmon .
147.Sh ERRORS
148The
149.Fn strfmon
150function will fail if:
151.Bl -tag -width Er
152.It Bq Er E2BIG
153Conversion stopped due to lack of space in the buffer.
154.It Bq Er EINVAL
155The format string is invalid.
156.It Bq Er ENOMEM
157Not enough memory for temporary buffers.
