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.

SEE ALSO

printf(3), xlocale(3)

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.
