29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm strfmon ,

33.Nd convert monetary value to string

37.In monetary.h
38.Ft ssize_t
39.Fo strfmon
40.Fa "char *restrict s"
41.Fa "size_t maxsize"

54.Fc
55.Sh DESCRIPTION
56The
57.Fn strfmon
58function places characters into the array pointed to by
59.Fa s ,
60as controlled by the string pointed to by
61.Fa format .
62No more than
63.Fa maxsize
64bytes are placed into the array.
65.Pp
66While the
67.Fn strfmon
68function uses the current locale, the
69.Fn strfmon_l
70function may be passed a locale directly. See
71.Xr xlocale 3
72for more information.
73.Pp
74The format string is composed of zero or more directives:
75ordinary characters (not
76.Cm % ) ,
77which are copied unchanged to the output stream; and conversion
78specifications, each of which results in fetching zero or more subsequent
79arguments.
80Each conversion specification is introduced by the
81.Cm %
82character.
83After the
84.Cm % ,
85the following appear in sequence:
86.Bl -bullet
87.It
88Zero or more of the following flags:
89.Bl -tag -width "XXX"
90.It Cm = Ns Ar f
91A
92.Sq Cm =
93character followed by another character
94.Ar f
95which is used as the numeric fill character.
96.It Cm ^
97Do not use grouping characters, regardless of the current locale default.
98.It Cm +
99Represent positive values by prefixing them with a positive sign,
100and negative values by prefixing them with a negative sign.
101This is the default.
102.It Cm \&(
103Enclose negative values in parentheses.
104.It Cm \&!
105Do not include a currency symbol in the output.
106.It Cm \-
107Left justify the result.
108Only valid when a field width is specified.
109.El
110.It
111An optional minimum field width as a decimal number.
112By default, there is no minimum width.
113.It
114A
115.Sq Cm #
116sign followed by a decimal number specifying the maximum
117expected number of digits after the radix character.
118.It
119A
120.Sq Cm \&.
121character followed by a decimal number specifying the number
122the number of digits after the radix character.
123.It
124One of the following conversion specifiers:
125.Bl -tag -width "XXX"
126.It Cm i
127The
128.Vt double
129argument is formatted as an international monetary amount.
130.It Cm n
131The
132.Vt double
133argument is formatted as a national monetary amount.
134.It Cm %
135A
136.Sq Li %
137character is written.

140.Sh RETURN VALUES
141If the total number of resulting bytes, including the terminating
142.Dv NULL
143byte, is not more than
144.Fa maxsize ,
145.Fn strfmon
146returns the number of bytes placed into the array pointed to by
147.Fa s ,
148not including the terminating
149.Dv NULL
150byte.
151Otherwise, \-1 is returned,
152the contents of the array are indeterminate,
153and
154.Va errno
155is set to indicate the error.
156.Sh ERRORS
157The
158.Fn strfmon
159function will fail if:
160.Bl -tag -width Er
161.It Bq Er E2BIG
162Conversion stopped due to lack of space in the buffer.
163.It Bq Er EINVAL
164The format string is invalid.
165.It Bq Er ENOMEM
166Not enough memory for temporary buffers.
