💖 monetary.h(7POSIX) — monetary types, bestie ✨

okay so real talk: this is a page from the POSIX Programmer's Manual, and we're about to get into it. It's monetary.h(7POSIX) if you're being formal, and it's giving "tiny header, big responsibility" energy. 🎀

🌸 PROLOG 🌸

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. Heads up though, bestie: the Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so if you're on Linux, go peek at the corresponding Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behavior. Also possible: the interface just straight up isn't implemented on Linux at all. 🙈 Not every glow-up makes it to every platform, yk?

✨ NAME ✨

monetary.h — monetary types 💸

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <monetary.h>

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so here's the tea. The <monetary.h> header shall define the locale_t type, exactly as described in <locale.h>. Iconic.

It shall also define the size_t type, as described in <stddef.h>. Periodt.

And it shall define the ssize_t type too, as described in <sys/types.h>. The trio. The main characters. 👑

The following shall be declared as functions — and they may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided so they play nice with ISO C standard compilers, no cap.

ssize_t  strfmon(char *restrict, size_t, const char *restrict, ...);
ssize_t  strfmon_l(char *restrict, size_t, locale_t,
             const char *restrict, ...);

The following sections are informative — so like, they're the commentary track, not the main plot. 🫶

🧚 APPLICATION USAGE 🧚

None. Literally nothing. The section exists and it said "no thoughts, head empty". 💀

---

🌈 RATIONALE 🌈

None. Again, nothing. We respect the minimalism. ✨

---

⭐ FUTURE DIRECTIONS ⭐

None. The future is currently unbothered. 💜
