34 /* FUNCTION
35 printf-style formatting function with callback hook and C-style
36 DataStream.
38 INPUTS
39 FormatString - Pointer to the format string with any of the following
40 DataStream formatting options allowed:
42 %[leftalign][minwidth.][maxwidth][size][type]
44 leftalign - '-' means align left. Default: align right.
45 minwidth - minimum width of field. Defaults to 0.
46 maxwidth - maximum width of field (for strings only).
47 Defaults to no limit.
49 size - 'l' can be used, but effectively ignored for
50 backwards compatibility with original RawDoFmt().
51 In C arguments are always at least int-sized.
53 type - 'b' BSTR. It will use the internal representation
54 of the BSTR defined by the ABI.
55 'c' single character.
56 'd' signed decimal number.
57 's' C string. NULL terminated.
58 'u' unsigned decimal number.
59 'x' unsigned hexdecimal number.
60 'P' pointer. Size depends on the architecture.
61 'p' The same as 'P', for AmigaOS v4 compatibility.
63 PutChProc - Callback function. Called for each character, including
64 the NULL terminator. The function should be declared as
65 follows:
67 APTR PutChProc(APTR PutChData, UBYTE char);
69 The function should return new value for PutChData variable.
71 Additionally, PutChProc can be set to one of the following
72 magic values:
74 RAWFMTFUNC_STRING - Write output to string buffer pointed
75 to by PutChData which is incremented
76 every character.
77 RAWFMTFUNC_SERIAL - Write output to debug output. PutChData
78 is ignored and not touched.
79 RAWFMTFUNC_COUNT - Count number of characters in the result.
80 PutChData is a pointer to ULONG which
81 is incremented every character. Initial
82 value of the counter is kept as it is.
84 PutChData - Data propagated to each call of the callback hook.
86 DataStream - C-style data stream (va_list variable)
88 RESULT
89 Final PutChData value.
91 NOTES
93 EXAMPLE
94 Build a sprintf style function:
96 void my_sprintf(UBYTE *buffer, UBYTE *format, ...)
98 va_list args;
100 va_start(args, format);
101 VNewRawDoFmt(format, RAWFMTFUNC_STRING, buffer, args);
102 va_end(args);
105 BUGS
107 SEE ALSO
109 INTERNALS
110 In AROS this function supports also 'i' type specifier
111 standing for full IPTR argument. This makes difference on
112 64-bit machines. At the moment this addition is not stable
113 and subject to change. Consider using %P or %p to output
114 full 64-bit pointers.
116 When locale.library starts up this function is replaced
117 with advanced version, supporting extensions supported
118 by FormatString() function.
