.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In util.h
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn strpct "char *buf" "size_t bufsiz" "uintmax_t numerator" "uintmax_t denominator" "size_t precision"
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn strspct "char *buf" "size_t bufsiz" "intmax_t numerator" "intmax_t denominator" "size_t precision"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strpct
|
|
function formats the fraction represented by
|
|
.Fa numerator
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa denominator
|
|
into a percentage representation with given number of digits of
|
|
.Fa precision
|
|
without using floating point arithmetic.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn strpct
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn strspct
|
|
always return a pointer to a NUL-terminated (unless
|
|
.Fa buflen
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv 0 )
|
|
formatted string which
|
|
is placed in
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
and is up to
|
|
.Fa buflen
|
|
characters.
|
|
If there was an overflow, the formatted string will reflect that precision
|
|
loss.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
strpct(buf, buflen, 1, 16, 3);
|
|
\(rA "6.250"
|
|
strpct(buf, buflen, 1, 2, 0);
|
|
\(rA "50"

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
.Fn strpct
|
|
was originally implemented in
|
|
.Xr csh 1
|
|
for
|
|
.Nx 1.3 .
|
|
It printed into a static buffer, was not locale aware, handled
|
|
.Ft unsigned long
|
|
numbers, and printed a
|
|
.Dq %
|
|
at the end of the number.
|
|
Other programs such as
|
|
.Xr df 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr time 1
|
|
started using it.
|
|
.Fn strpct
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn strspct
|
|
appeared separately in libutil for
|
|
.Nx 6.0 .
