LC_MONETARY:
The LC_MONETARY category defines the rules and symbols used to format monetary numeric infor-
mation. The following keywords belong to this category and should come between the category tag
LC_MONETARY and END LC_MONETARY:
int_curr_symbol
The operand is a four-character string used to designate the international
currency symbol. The first three characters should contain the alphabetic
international currency symbol in accordance with those specified in the ISO
4217 standard. The fourth character is the character used to separate the
international currency symbol from the monetary quantity.
currency_symbol
The operand is a string used as the local currency symbol.
mon_decimal_point
The operand is a string containing the symbol used as the decimal delimiter
(radix character).
mon_thousands_sep
The operand is a string containing the symbol used as a separator for groups
of digits to the left of decimal delimiter.
mon_grouping
The operand is a semicolon-separated list of integers. The initial integer
defines the size of the group immediately preceding the decimal delimiter, and
the following integers define the preceding groups. If the last integer is not -1,
then the size of the previous group (if any) will be repeatedly used for the
remainder of the digits. If the last integer is -1, then no further grouping will
be performed.
positive_sign
The operand is a string to indicate a non-negative monetary quantity.
negative_sign
The operand is a string to indicate a negative monetary quantity.
int_frac_digits
The operand is an integer representing the number of fractional digits used in
formatted monetary values using int_curr_symbol.
frac_digits
The operand is an integer representing the number of fractional digits used in
formatted monetary values using currency_symbol.
p_cs_precedes
The operand is an integer which if set to 1 indicates the currency_symbol
precedes a monetary quantity, and if set to 0 the symbol succeeds the value.
p_sep_by_space
The operand is an integer which indicates the separation of the
currency_symbol, the sign string, and the value for a non-negative for-
matted monetary quantity.
The value of
p_sep_by_space, n_sep_by_space,
int_p_sep_by_space, and int_n_sep_by_space are interpreted
according to the following:
0 No space separates the currency symbol and value.
1 If the currency symbol and sign string are adjacent, a space separates
them from the value; otherwise, a space separates the currency symbol
