Converts a number of monetary values into a string. The conversion is controlled by a format string.
#include <monetary.h>ssize_t strfmon (char *s, size_t maxsize, const char *format, ...);
s
A pointer to the resultant string.maxsize
The maximum number of bytes to be stored in the resultant string.format
A pointer to a string that controls the format of the output string....
The monetary values of type double that are to be formatted for the output string. There should be as many values as there are conversion specifications in the format string pointed to by format. The function fails if there are insufficient values. Excess arguments are ignored.
This function creates a string pointed to by s, using the monetary values supplied. A maximum of maxsize bytes is copied to s.The format string pointed to by format consists of ordinary characters and conversion specifications. All ordinary characters are copied unchanged to the output string. A conversion specification defines how one of the monetary values supplied is formatted in the output string.
A conversion specification consists of a percent character (%), followed by a number of optional characters (see Table REF-5), and concluding with a conversion specifier (see Table REF-6).
If any of the optional characters listed in Table REF-5 is included in a conversion specification, they must appear in the order shown.
Table REF-5 Optional Characters in strfmon Conversion Specifications Character Meaning = character Use character as the numeric fill character if a left precision is specified. The default numeric fill character is the space character. The fill character must be representable as a single byte in order to work with precision and width count. This conversion specifier is ignored unless a left precision is specified, and it does not affect width filling, which always uses the space character. ^ Do not use separator characters to format the number. By default, the digits are grouped according to the mon_grouping field in the LC_MONETARY category of the current locale. + Add the string specified by the positive_sign or negative_sign fields in the current locale. If p_sign_posn or n_sign_posn is set to zero, then parentheses are used by default to indicate negative values. Otherwise, sign strings are used to indicate the sign of the value. You cannot use a + and a ( in the same conversion specification. ( Enclose negative values within parentheses. The default is taken from the p_sign_posn and n_sign_posn fields in the current locale. If p_sign_posn or n_sign_posn is set to zero, then parentheses are used by default to indicate negative values. Otherwise, sign strings are used to indicate the sign of the value. You cannot use a + and ( in the same conversion specification. ! Suppress the currency symbol. By default, the currency symbol is included. -- Left-justify the value within the field. By default, values are right-justified. field width A decimal integer that specifies the minimum field width in which to align the result of the conversion. The default field width is the smallest field that can contain the result. #left_precision A # followed by a decimal integer specifies the number of digits to the left of the radix character. Extra positions are filled by the fill character. By default the precision is the smallest required for the argument. If grouping is not suppressed with the ^ conversion specifier, and if grouping is defined for the current locale, grouping separators are inserted before any fill characters are added. Grouping separators are not applied to fill characters even if the fill character is defined as a digit. .right_precision A period (.) followed by a decimal integer specifies the number of digits to the right of the radix character. Extra positions are filled with zeros. The amount is rounded to this number of decimal places. If the right precision is zero, the radix character is not included in the output. By default the right precision is defined by the frac_digits or int_frac_digits field of the current locale.
Table REF-6 strfmon Conversion Specifiers Specifier Meaning i Use the international currency symbol defined by the int_currency_symbol field in the current locale, unless the currency symbol has been suppressed. n Use the local currency symbol defined by the currency_symbol field in the current locale, unless the currency symbol has been suppressed. % Output a % character. The conversion specification must be %%; none of the optional characters is valid with this specifier.
x The number of bytes written to the string pointed to by s, not including the null terminating character. --1 Indicates an error.The function sets errno to one of the following values:
- EINVAL -- A conversion specification is syntactically incorrect.
- E2BIG -- Processing the complete format string would produce more than maxsize bytes.
#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <locale.h> #include <monetary.h> #include <errno.h> #define MAX_BUF_SIZE 124 main() { size_t ret; char buffer[MAX_BUF_SIZE]; double amount = 102593421; /* Display a monetary amount using the en_US.ISO8859-1 */ /* locale and a range of different display formats. */ if (setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.ISO8859-1") == (char *) NULL) { perror("setlocale"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } ret = strfmon(buffer, MAX_BUF_SIZE, "International: %i\n", amount); printf(buffer); ret = strfmon(buffer, MAX_BUF_SIZE, "National: %n\n", amount); printf(buffer); ret = strfmon(buffer, MAX_BUF_SIZE, "National: %=*#10n\n", amount); printf(buffer); ret = strfmon(buffer, MAX_BUF_SIZE, "National: %(n\n", -1 * amount); printf(buffer); ret = strfmon(buffer, MAX_BUF_SIZE, "National: %^!n\n", amount); printf(buffer); }
Running the example program produces the following result:
International: USD 102,593,421.00 National: $102,593,421.00 National: $**102,593,421.00 National: ($102,593,421.00) National: 102593421.00 |
Uses date and time information stored in a tm structure, to create an output string. The format of the output string is controlled by a format string.
#include <time.h>Function Variants Compiling with the _DECC_V4_SOURCE and _VMS_V6_SOURCE feature-test macros defined enables a local-time-based entry point to this function that is equivalent to the behavior before OpenVMS Version 7.0.size_t strftime (char *s, size_t maxsize, const char *format, const struct tm *timeptr);
s
A pointer to the resultant string.maxsize
The maximum number of bytes to be stored in the resultant string, including the null terminator.format
A pointer to a string that controls the format of the output string.timeptr
A pointer to the local time ( tm ) structure. The tm structure is defined in the <time.h> header file.
This function uses data in the structure pointed to by timeptr to create the string pointed to by s. A maximum of maxsize bytes is copied to s.The format string consists of zero or more conversion specifications and ordinary characters. All ordinary characters (including the terminating null character) are copied unchanged into the output string. A conversion specification defines how data in the tm structure is formatted in the output string.
A conversion specification consists of a percent (%) character followed by one or more optional characters (see Table REF-7), and concluding with a conversion specifier (see Table REF-8). If any of the optional characters listed in Table REF-7 are specified, they must appear in the order shown in the table.
The strftime function behaves as if it called tzset .
Table REF-7 Optional Elements of strftime Conversion Specifications Element Meaning -- Optional with the field width to specify that the field is left-justified and padded with spaces. This cannot be used with the 0 element. 0 Optional with the field width to specify that the field is right-justified and padded with zeros. This cannot be used with the -- element. field width A decimal integer that specifies the maximum field width .precision A decimal integer that specifies the precision of data in a field. For the d, H, I, j, m, M, o, S, U, w, W, y and Y conversion specifiers, the precision specifier is the minimum number of digits to appear in the field. If the conversion specification has fewer digits than that specified by the precision, leading zeros are added.
For the a, A, b, B, c, D, E, h, n, N, p, r, t, T, x, X, Z, and % conversion specifiers, the precision specifier is the maximum number of characters to appear in the field. If the conversion specification has more characters than that specified by the the precision, characters are truncated on the right.
The default precision for the d, H, I, m, M, o, S, U, w, W, y and Y conversion specifiers is 2; the default precision for the j conversion specifier is 3.
Note that the list of conversion specifications in Table REF-7 are extensions to the XPG4 specification.
Table REF-8 lists the conversion specifiers. The strftime function uses fields in the LC_TIME category of the program's current locale to provide a value. For example, if %B is specified, the function accesses the mon field in LC_TIME to find the full month name for the month specified in the tm structure. The result of using invalid conversion specifiers is undefined.
