rftvalfmt

rftvalfmt is a software term used in several codebases to denote a value-formatting component. It is not a universal standard, and its exact meaning varies by project. In general, rftvalfmt refers to a function, method, or format string that converts an internal value into a human-readable string according to a specified rule set.

Typical use cases include rendering numeric, date/time, boolean, and string values in reports, logs, or user interfaces. Common features include controlling width and alignment, setting precision, applying locale-aware formatting, and escaping special characters. Implementations vary: it may be a standalone function named rftvalfmt, a method of a formatter class, or a format specifier in a templating engine.

In practice, different projects define rftvalfmt with different parameter conventions: some take a value and a single format descriptor; others offer multiple presets or a style object. Because there is no centralized standard, developers must consult project documentation to determine expected inputs and behavior.
