30.Dt STRFMON 3
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm strfmon
34.Nd convert monetary value to string
35.Sh LIBRARY
36.Lb libc
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In monetary.h
39.Ft ssize_t
40.Fn strfmon "char * restrict s" "size_t maxsize" "const char * restrict format" "..."
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 behaves the same as
57.Fn strfmon ,
58but uses the locale
59.Fa loc
60instead of the process global locale.
61.Pp
62The format string is composed of zero or more directives:
63ordinary characters (not
64.Cm % ) ,
65which are copied unchanged to the output stream; and conversion
66specifications, each of which results in fetching zero or more subsequent
67arguments.
68Each conversion specification is introduced by the
69.Cm %
70character.
71After the
72.Cm % ,
73the following appear in sequence:
74.Bl -bullet
75.It
76Zero or more of the following flags:
77.Bl -tag -width "XXX"
78.It Cm = Ns Ar f
79A
80.Sq Cm =
81character followed by another character
82.Ar f
83which is used as the numeric fill character.
84.It Cm ^
85Do not use grouping characters, regardless of the current locale default.
86.It Cm +
87Represent positive values by prefixing them with a positive sign,
88and negative values by prefixing them with a negative sign.
89This is the default.
90.It Cm \&(
91Enclose negative values in parentheses.
92.It Cm \&!
93Do not include a currency symbol in the output.
94.It Cm \-
95Left justify the result.
96Only valid when a field width is specified.
97.El
98.It
99An optional minimum field width as a decimal number.
100By default, there is no minimum width.
101.It
102A
103.Sq Cm #
104sign followed by a decimal number specifying the maximum
105expected number of digits before the radix character.
106When this option is used, values that do not exceed the
107specified number of digits are formatted so they will be
108correctly aligned with other values printed using the same
109format.
110This includes always leaving space for a possible sign
111indicator, even if none is needed for a particular value.
112.It
113A
114.Sq Cm \&.
115character followed by a decimal number specifying the number
116of digits after the radix character.
117.It
118One of the following conversion specifiers:
119.Bl -tag -width "XXX"
120.It Cm i
121The
122.Vt double
123argument is formatted as an international monetary amount.
124.It Cm n
125The
126.Vt double
127argument is formatted as a national monetary amount.
128.It Cm %
129A
130.Sq Li %
131character is written.
132.El
133.El
134.Sh RETURN VALUES
135If the total number of resulting bytes including the terminating
136.Dv NULL
137byte is not more than
138.Fa maxsize ,
139.Fn strfmon
140returns the number of bytes placed into the array pointed to by
141.Fa s ,
142not including the terminating
143.Dv NULL
144byte.
145Otherwise, \-1 is returned,
146the contents of the array are indeterminate,
147and
148.Va errno
149is set to indicate the error.
150.Sh ERRORS
151The
152.Fn strfmon
153function 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.
