65.Sh DESCRIPTION
66The above functions are used to convert formatted output in the locale
67.Fa loc .
68They behave in the same way as the versions without the _l suffix, but use
69the specified locale rather than the global or per-thread locale.
70See the specific manual pages for more information.
71.Sh SEE ALSO
72.Xr printf 3 ,
73.Xr xlocale 3
74.Sh STANDARDS
75These functions do not conform to any specific standard so they should be
76considered as non-portable local extensions.
77.Sh HISTORY
78These functions first appeared in Darwin and were first implemented in
79.Fx 9.1 .
