- This manual page documents the GNU version of pppprrrriiiinnnnttttffff.
- pppprrrriiiinnnnttttffff prints the _f_o_r_m_a_t string, interpreting `%' directives
- and `\' escapes in the same way as the C `printf' function.
- The _f_o_r_m_a_t argument is re-used as many times as necessary to
- convert all of the given arguments.
-
- pppprrrriiiinnnnttttffff interprets `\0ooo' as a an octal number (`ooo' is 0
- to 3 digits) specifying a character to print, and `\xhhh' as
- a hexadecimal number (`hhh' is 1 to 3 digits) specifying a
- character to print. It has an additional escape, `\c',
- which causes pppprrrriiiinnnnttttffff to produce no further output, and an
- additional directive, `%b', which prints its argument string
- with `\' escapes interpreted the way they are in the _f_o_r_m_a_t
- string.
