1st Parameter

Pointer to the buffer where the formatted output will be stored.

2nd Parameter Type : size_t

Platform-specific unsigned type for array indices and memory sizes.

2nd Parameter

The maximum number of bytes, including the null terminator, that can be written to the buffer.

The strfmonfunction in C language Formats monetary values according to the locale settings.

The strfmon function formats monetary values into a string according to the current locale's settings. It allows for flexible formatting of currency amounts, including currency symbols, thousands separators, and decimal points.

The strfmonfunction takes 4 parameters:

•
char * `str`: Pointer to the buffer where the formatted output will be stored.
•
size_t `maxsize`: The maximum number of bytes, including the null terminator, that can be written to the buffer.
•
const char * `format`: A null-terminated format string specifying the monetary format and any additional options for the output.
•
... `args`: A variable number of arguments to format according to the specified format string.

Formats and writes monetary values to the buffer `str` according to the `format` string and the provided arguments. The formatting is based on the current locale's monetary settings. Writes at most `maxsize` bytes, including the null terminator. Returns the number of bytes written on success or `-1` if an error occurs.

The strfmon function return value :

Returns the number of characters placed in the array pointed to by s, not including the terminating null character
If the resulting string is too long to fit in n bytes, a negative value is returned and errno may be set to ERANGE

Output

This example demonstrates basic usage of strfmon to format a monetary value using the system's default locale.
