vfprintf_l(3)

formatted output conversion

Part of asprintf_l(3).

NAME

printf_l, asprintf_l, fprintf_l, snprintf_l, sprintf_l, vasprintf_l, vfprintf_l, vprintf_l, vsnprintf_l, vsprintf_l – formatted output conversion

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdio.h>

#include <xlocale.h>

int

printf_l(locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, ...);

int

asprintf_l(char **ret, locale_t loc, const char * format, ...);

int

fprintf_l(FILE * restrict stream, locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, ...);

int

snprintf_l(char * restrict str, size_t size, locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, ...);

int

sprintf_l(char * restrict str, locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, ...);

int

vasprintf_l(char **ret, locale_t loc, const char *format, va_list ap);

int

vfprintf_l(FILE * restrict stream, locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, va_list ap);

int

vprintf_l(locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, va_list ap);

int

vsnprintf_l(char * restrict str, size_t size, locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, va_list ap);

int

vsprintf_l(char * restrict str, locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, va_list ap);

DESCRIPTION

The above functions are used to convert formatted output in the locale loc. They behave in the same way as the versions without the _l suffix, but use the specified locale rather than the global or per-thread locale. See the specific manual pages for more information.

STANDARDS

These functions do not conform to any specific standard so they should be considered as non-portable local extensions.

HISTORY

These functions first appeared in Darwin and were first implemented in FreeBSD 9.1.
