PRINTF_L(3)                Library Functions Manual                PRINTF_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 <locale.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, ...);

     #include <stdarg.h>

     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 and NetBSD 7.

NetBSD 10.99                   December 29, 2016                  NetBSD 10.99
