21 !!DESCRIPTION
22
23
24 The __strfmon()__ function formats the specified amounts
25 according to the format specification ''format'' and
26 places the result in the character array ''s'' of size
27 ''max''.
28
29
30 Ordinary characters in ''format'' are copied to ''s''
31 without conversion. Conversion specifiers are introduced by
32 a `%' character. Immediately following it there can be zero
33 or more of the following flags:
34
35
36 __=__''f''
37
38
39 The single-byte character ''f'' is used as the numeric
40 fill character (to be used with a left precision, see
41 below). When not specified, the space character is
42 used.
43
44
45 __^__
46
47
48 Do not use any grouping characters that might be defined for
49 the current locale. By default, grouping is
50 enabled.
51
52
53 __(__ or __+__
54
55
56 The ( flag indicates that negative amounts should be
57 enclosed between parentheses. The + flag indicates that
58 signs should be handled in the default way, that is, amounts
59 are preceded by the locale's sign indication, e.g., nothing
60 for positive,
61

63 __!__

66 Omit the currency symbol.
67
68
69 __-__

72 Left justify all fields. The default is right
73 justification.
74
75
76 Next, there may be a field width: a decimal digit string
77 specifying a minimum field width in bytes. The default is 0.
78 A result smaller than this width is padded with spaces (on
79 the left, unless the left-justify flag was
80 given).
81
82
83 Next, there may be a left precision of the form
84
85
86 Next, there may be a right precision of the form
87 frac_digits'' and ''int_frac_digits'' items of the
88 current locale. If the right precision is 0, no radix
89 character is printed. (The radix character here is
90 determined by LC_MONETARY, and may differ from that
91 specified by LC_NUMERIC.)
92
93
94 Finally, the conversion specification must be ended with a
95 conversion character. The three conversion characters
96 are
97
98
99 __%__
100
101
102 (In this case the entire specification must be exactly
103
104
105 __i__
106
107
108 One argument of type double is converted using the locale's
109 international currency format.
110
111
112 __n__
113
114
115 One argument of type double is converted using the locale's
116 national currency format.
117 !!RETURN VALUE
118
119
120 The __strfmon()__ function returns the number of
121 characters placed in the array ''s'', not including the
122 terminating NUL character, provided the string, including
123 the terminating NUL, fits. Otherwise, it sets ''errno''
124 to E2BIG, returns -1, and the contents of the array is
125 undefined.
