         char    frac_digits;           /* fractional digits */
         char    p_cs_precedes;         /* pos. currency sym. preceeds */
         char    p_sep_by_space;        /* pos. currency sym. sep. by space */
         char    p_sign_posn;           /* pos. sign position */
         char    n_cs_precedes;         /* neg. currency sym. preceeds */
         char    n_sep_by_space;        /* neg. currency sym. sep. by space */
         char    n_sign_posn;           /* neg. sign position */
         char    *decimal_point;        /* decimal point (aka RADIXCHAR) */
         char    *thousands_sep;        /* thousands separator */
