17 /* Usage: printf format [argument...]
19 A front end to the printf function that lets it be used from the shell.
21 Backslash escapes:
23 \" = double quote
24 \\ = backslash
25 \a = alert (bell)
26 \b = backspace
27 \c = produce no further output
28 \e = escape
29 \f = form feed
30 \n = new line
31 \r = carriage return
32 \t = horizontal tab
33 \v = vertical tab
34 \ooo = octal number (ooo is 1 to 3 digits)
35 \xhh = hexadecimal number (hhh is 1 to 2 digits)
36 \uhhhh = 16-bit Unicode character (hhhh is 4 digits)
37 \Uhhhhhhhh = 32-bit Unicode character (hhhhhhhh is 8 digits)
39 Additional directive:
41 %b = print an argument string, interpreting backslash escapes,
42 except that octal escapes are of the form \0 or \0ooo.
44 The `format' argument is re-used as many times as necessary
45 to convert all of the given arguments.
