Updated the help files help/config, help/display, help/epsilon,
help/fprint, help/printf, and help/strprintf to give more
examples of how display digits and epsilon precision interact
with displaying values.
Added more information about %g in the help file help/printf.
The '\a' is now recognized in a printf format string as the
single byte audible bell character (byte 0x07 in ASCII encoding).
The following is a partial list of escape sequences recognized
in strings and in printf formats:
\a audible bell byte 0x07 in ASCII encoding
\b backspace byte 0x08 in ASCII encoding
\f form feed byte 0x0c in ASCII encoding
\n newline byte 0x0b in ASCII encoding
\r return byte 0x0a in ASCII encoding
\t tab byte 0x0d in ASCII encoding
\v vertical tab byte 0x09 in ASCII encoding

NAME
|
|
strprintf - formatted print to a string
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
strprintf(fmt, x_1, x_2, ...)
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
fmt string
|
|
x_1, x_2, ... any
|
|
|
|
return string

|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function returns the string formed from the characters that
|
|
would be printed to standard output by printf(fmt, x_1, x_2, ...).
