0x11. C - printf

This project aims to recreate the printf function in C. The printf function is used to print output on the console. It takes a string as input, which contains a mixture of plain text and format specifiers. The format specifiers begin with the % character and are followed by a letter that determines the type of output to be printed.

Compilation

The code will be compiled with the following flags:

gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic -std=gnu89 *.c

Usage

The _printf function is used to print output on the console. It takes a string as input, which contains a mixture of plain text and format specifiers. The format specifiers begin with the % character and are followed by a letter that determines the type of output to be printed.

The available format specifiers are:

%c - print a single character
%s - print a string of characters
%d or %i - print a signed integer
%u - print an unsigned integer
%o - print an octal number
%x or %X - print a hexadecimal number
%p - print a pointer address
%% - print a percent sign
The _printf function returns the number of characters printed.

Example Here is an example of how to use the _printf function:

#include "main.h"

int main(void)
{
    _printf("Hello, %s!\n", "world");
    return (0);
}

Output:

Hello, world!
