Formatting info for numeric values
This structure holds formatting information on how numeric values, both monetary and non-monetary, are to be written.
The function localeconv returns an object of this type.
It contains the following members (not necessarily in this in order):
| member | value in "C" locale | indicates |
|---|---|---|
| char * decimal_point | "." | Decimal-point separator used for non-monetary quantities. |
| char * thousands_sep | "" | Separators used to delimit groups of digits to the left of the decimal point for non-monetary quantities. |
| char * grouping | "" | Specifies the amount of digits that form each of the groups to be separated by thousands_sep separator for non-monetary quantities. This is a zero-terminated sequence of char values that may contain different grouping sizes for each successive group starting from the right, each number indicating the amount of digits for the group; the last number before the ending zero in this string is used for the remaining groups. For example, assuming thousand_sep is set to "," and the number to represent is one million (1000000): with grouping set to "\3", the number would be expressed: 1,000,000 with grouping set to "\1\2\3", the number would be expressed: 1,000,00,0 with grouping set to "\3\1", the number would be expressed: 1,0,0,0,000 CHAR_MAX indicates that no further grouping is to be performed. |
| char * int_curr_symbol | "" | International currency symbol. This is formed by the three-letter ISO-4217 entry code for the currency, like "USD" for U.S.Dollar or "GBP" for the Pound Sterling, followed by the character used to separate this symbol from the monetary quantity |
| char * currency_symbol | "" | Local currency symbol, like "$". |
| char * mon_decimal_point | "" | Decimal-point separator used for monetary quantities. |
| char * mon_thousands_sep | "" | Separators used to delimit groups of digits to the left of the decimal point for monetary quantities. |
| char * mon_grouping | "" | Specifies the amount of digits that form each of the groups to be separated by mon_thousands_sep separator for monetary quantities. See grouping description above. |
| char * positive_sign | "" | Sign to be used for nonnegative (positive or zero) monetary quantities. |
| char * negative_sign | "" | Sign to be used for negative monetary quantities. |
| char int_frac_digits | CHAR_MAX | Amount of fractional digits to the right of the decimal point for monetary quantities in the international format. |
| char frac_digits | CHAR_MAX | Amount of fractional digits to the right of the decimal point for monetary quantities in the local format. |
| char p_cs_precedes | CHAR_MAX | Whether the currency symbol should precede nonnegative (positive or zero) monetary quantities. If this value is 1 the currency symbol should precede, if it is 0 it should follow. |
| char n_cs_precedes | CHAR_MAX | Whether the currency symbol should precede negative monetary quantities. If this value is 1 the currency symbol should precede, if it is 0 it should follow. |
| char p_sep_by_space | CHAR_MAX | Whether a space should appear between the currency symbol and nonnegative (positive or zero) monetary quantities. If this value is 1 a space should appear, if it is 0 it should not. |
| char n_sep_by_space | CHAR_MAX | Whether a space should appear between the currency symbol and negative monetary quantities. If this value is 1 a space should appear, if it is 0 it should not. |
| char p_sign_posn | CHAR_MAX | Position of the sign for nonnegative (positive or zero) monetary quantities: 0 : Currency symbol and quantity surrounded by parentheses. 1 : Sign before the quantity and currency symbol. 2 : Sign after the quantity and currency symbol. 3 : Sign right before currency symbol. 4 : Sign right after currency symbol. CHAR_MAX : Unspecified. |
| char p_sign_posn | CHAR_MAX | Position of the sign for negative monetary quantities. See p_sign_posn above. |
