This documentation is no longer being maintained and may be inaccurate or incomplete. The Texinfo documentation is now the authoritative source.
This manual page documents the GNU version of printf. printf prints the format string, interpreting ’%’ directives and ’\’ escapes in the same way as the C ’printf’ function. The format argument is re-used as many times as necessary to convert all of the given arguments.
printf 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 printf to produce no further output, and an additional directive, ’%b’, which prints its argument string with ’\’ escapes interpreted the way they are in the format string.
OPTIONS

the following options are recognized:
