I'm assuming you have converted the numbers to a string which may be too 
long, say with something like snprintf(buf, n, "%d.%09d", sec, nano)

Using python to experiment, I think you need "%12.12s"
>>> print "xx%12sxx" % "0.567890123"
xx 0.567890123xx
>>> print "xx%12sxx" % "1234.567890123"
xx1234.567890123xx
>>> print "xx%.12sxx" % "1234.567890123"
xx1234.5678901xx
>>> print "xx%.12sxx" % "4.567890123"
xx4.567890123xx
>>> print "xx%12.12sxx" % "4.567890123"
xx 4.567890123xx
>>> print "xx%12.12sxx" % "-4.567890123"
xx-4.567890123xx
