src/lib/libc/stdlib: strfmon.3
Log Message:
Fix obvious typo (cut&pasto or whatever) - there's only one value that
specifies the number of digits after the decimal point (oh, sorry, the
"radix character") the other specifies the number before...
While here, add a little more info on the effects of using the #n value.
