Formatting info for numeric values
This structure holds formatting information on how numeric values, both monetary and non-monetary, are to be written.

The function localeconv returns an object of this type.

It contains the following members (not necessarily in this in order):

membervalue in "C" localeindicates
char * decimal_point"."Decimal-point separator used for non-monetary quantities.
char * thousands_sep""Separators used to delimit groups of digits to the left of the decimal point for non-monetary quantities.
char * grouping""Specifies the amount of digits that form each of the groups to be separated by thousands_sep separator for non-monetary quantities. This is a zero-terminated sequence of char values that may contain different grouping sizes for each successive group starting from the right, each number indicating the amount of digits for the group; the last number before the ending zero in this string is used for the remaining groups. For example, assuming thousand_sep is set to "," and the number to represent is one million (1000000):
with grouping set to "\3", the number would be expressed: 1,000,000
with grouping set to "\1\2\3", the number would be expressed: 1,000,00,0
with grouping set to "\3\1", the number would be expressed: 1,0,0,0,000
CHAR_MAX indicates that no further grouping is to be performed.
char * int_curr_symbol""International currency symbol. This is formed by the three-letter ISO-4217 entry code for the currency, like "USD" for U.S.Dollar or "GBP" for the Pound Sterling, followed by the character used to separate this symbol from the monetary quantity
char * currency_symbol""Local currency symbol, like "$".
char * mon_decimal_point""Decimal-point separator used for monetary quantities.
char * mon_thousands_sep""Separators used to delimit groups of digits to the left of the decimal point for monetary quantities.
char * mon_grouping""Specifies the amount of digits that form each of the groups to be separated by mon_thousands_sep separator for monetary quantities. See grouping description above.
char * positive_sign""Sign to be used for nonnegative (positive or zero) monetary quantities.
char * negative_sign""Sign to be used for negative monetary quantities.
char int_frac_digitsCHAR_MAXAmount of fractional digits to the right of the decimal point for monetary quantities in the international format.
char frac_digitsCHAR_MAXAmount of fractional digits to the right of the decimal point for monetary quantities in the local format.
char p_cs_precedesCHAR_MAXWhether the currency symbol should precede nonnegative (positive or zero) monetary quantities. If this value is 1 the currency symbol should precede, if it is 0 it should follow.
char n_cs_precedesCHAR_MAXWhether the currency symbol should precede negative monetary quantities. If this value is 1 the currency symbol should precede, if it is 0 it should follow.
char p_sep_by_spaceCHAR_MAXWhether a space should appear between the currency symbol and nonnegative (positive or zero) monetary quantities. If this value is 1 a space should appear, if it is 0 it should not.
char n_sep_by_spaceCHAR_MAXWhether a space should appear between the currency symbol and negative monetary quantities. If this value is 1 a space should appear, if it is 0 it should not.
char p_sign_posnCHAR_MAXPosition of the sign for nonnegative (positive or zero) monetary quantities:
0 : Currency symbol and quantity surrounded by parentheses.
1 : Sign before the quantity and currency symbol.
2 : Sign after the quantity and currency symbol.
3 : Sign right before currency symbol.
4 : Sign right after currency symbol.
CHAR_MAX : Unspecified.
char n_sign_posnCHAR_MAXPosition of the sign for negative monetary quantities. See p_sign_posn above.
