PRINTF_L(3)						   BSD 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 con-
     version

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 suf-
     fix, but use the specified locale rather than the global or per-thread locale.  See the specific manual pages for more information.

SEE ALSO

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.
