302The decimal point
303character is defined in the program's locale (category

306In no case does a non-existent or small field width cause truncation of
307a field; padding takes place only if the specified field width exceeds
308the actual width.
309.Pp
310Some shells may provide a builtin
311.Nm
312command which is similar or identical to this utility.
313Consult the
314.Xr builtin 1
315manual page.
316.Sh EXIT STATUS
317.Ex -std
318.Sh COMPATIBILITY
319The traditional
320.Bx
321behavior of converting arguments of numeric formats not beginning
322with a digit to the
323.Tn ASCII
324code of the first character is not supported.

326.Xr builtin 1 ,
