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.Ft ssize_t
41.Fn strfmon_l "char * restrict s" "size_t maxsize" "locale_t locale" "const char * restrict format" "..."
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Fn strfmon
45function places characters into the array pointed to by
46.Fa s
47as controlled by the string pointed to by
48.Fa format .
49No more than
50.Fa maxsize
51bytes are placed into the array.
52.Pp
53The
54.Fn strfmon_l
55function does the same as
56.Fn strfmon
57but takes an explicit
58.Fa locale
59rather than using the current locale.
60.Pp
61The format string is composed of zero or more directives:
62ordinary characters (not
63.Cm % ) ,
64which are copied unchanged to the output stream; and conversion
65specifications, each of which results in fetching zero or more subsequent
66arguments.
67Each conversion specification is introduced by the
68.Cm %
69character.
70After the
71.Cm % ,
72the following appear in sequence:
73.Bl -bullet
74.It
75Zero or more of the following flags:
76.Bl -tag -width "XXX"
77.It Cm = Ns Ar f
78A
79.Sq Cm =
80character followed by another character
81.Ar f
82which is used as the numeric fill character.
83.It Cm ^
84Do not use grouping characters, regardless of the current locale default.
85.It Cm +
86Represent positive values by prefixing them with a positive sign,
87and negative values by prefixing them with a negative sign.
88This is the default.
89.It Cm \&(
90Enclose negative values in parentheses.
91.It Cm \&!
92Do not include a currency symbol in the output.
93.It Cm \-
94Left justify the result.
95Only valid when a field width is specified.
96.El
97.It
98An optional minimum field width as a decimal number.
99By default, there is no minimum width.
100.It
101A
102.Sq Cm #
103sign followed by a decimal number specifying the maximum
104expected number of digits after the radix character.
105.It
106A
107.Sq Cm \&.
108character followed by a decimal number specifying the number
109of digits after the radix character.
110.It
111One of the following conversion specifiers:
112.Bl -tag -width "XXX"
113.It Cm i
114The
115.Vt double
116argument is formatted as an international monetary amount.
117.It Cm n
118The
119.Vt double
120argument is formatted as a national monetary amount.
121.It Cm %
122A
123.Sq Li %
124character is written.
125.El
126.El
127.Sh RETURN VALUES
128If the total number of resulting bytes including the terminating
129.Dv NUL
130byte is not more than
131.Fa maxsize ,
132.Fn strfmon
133returns the number of bytes placed into the array pointed to by
134.Fa s ,
135not including the terminating
136.Dv NUL
137byte.
138Otherwise, \-1 is returned,
139the contents of the array are indeterminate,
140and
141.Va errno
142is set to indicate the error.
143.Pp
144The
145.Fn strfmon_l
146function returns the same values as
147.Fn strfmon .
148.Sh ERRORS
149The
150.Fn strfmon
151and
152.Fn strfmon_l
153functions will fail if:
154.Bl -tag -width Er
155.It Bq Er E2BIG
156Conversion stopped due to lack of space in the buffer.
157.It Bq Er EINVAL
158The format string is invalid.
159.It Bq Er ENOMEM
160Not enough memory for temporary buffers.

167function
