    Problem Text

    This test expects a partial conversion when the formatted string
    size is greater than maxsize.

    The CAE specification on system interfaces and headers, issue 4 says
    on page 418:

    "RETURN VALUE
    if the total number of resulting bytes including the terminating null
    byte is not more than maxsize, the strfmon() function returns the number of
    bytes placed into the array pointed to by s, not including the terminating
    null bytes. Otherwise, -1 is returned, the contents of the array are
    indeterminate , and errno is set to indicate the error."


    Our strfmon() returns a -1 with errno set to E2BIG in accordance to the
    specification. The contents of the array were NULL (indeterminate) and so
    by the statement above, do not violate the XPG4 specification.
    Hence, a waiver should be granted.
    Test Output

    /tset/XPG4.os/genuts/strfmon/T.strfmon 19 Failed

    Test Description:
    If strfmon() is supported:
    A call to strfmon() places at most maxsize characters (including
    the terminating null) into the array referenced by s.
    Otherwise:
    A call to strfmon() returns -1 and sets errno to ENOSYS.

    Test Strategy:
    SET locale for LC_MONETARY category
    CALL strfmon(buf,maxsize,format,value), where format is set to "%5n",
    and maxsize is set less than the size of the formatted string
    VERIFY that buf[] contains no more than maxsize characters

    Test Information:
    strfmon(buf, 3, "%5n", ...) did not return expected results
    Current language is VSX4L3
    Expected string length: [2]
    Actual string length: [0]

    Review Information

    Review Type TSMA Review
    Start Date null
    Completed null
    Status Complete
    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    This seems to be a deficiency in the test suite. Since the interface
    has returned -1 and set errno to E2BIG, the contents of buf are
    indeterminate and the length of the buffer should not be examined.

    Review Type SA Review
    Start Date null
    Completed null
    Status Complete
    Review Resolution Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)
    Review Conclusion
    This is an agreed test suite deficiency.
