/printf

This repository houses an efficient and feature-rich implementation of the widely-used printf function in the C programming language.

printf project questions

. Write a function that produces output according to a format.

Prototype: int _printf(const char *format, ...); Returns: the number of characters printed (excluding the null byte used to end output to strings) write output to stdout, the standard output stream format is a character string. The format string is composed of zero or more directives. See man 3 printf for more detail. You need to handle the following conversion specifiers: c s % You don’t have to reproduce the buffer handling of the C library printf function You don’t have to handle the flag characters You don’t have to handle field width You don’t have to handle precision You don’t have to handle the length modifiers

. Handle the following custom conversion specifiers:

b: the unsigned int argument is converted to binary

. Handle the following conversion specifiers:

u o x X You don’t have to handle the flag characters You don’t have to handle field width You don’t have to handle precision You don’t have to handle the length modifiers

. Use a local buffer of 1024 chars in order to call write as little as possible.

. Handle the following custom conversion specifier:

S : prints the string. Non printable characters (0 < ASCII value < 32 or >= 127) are printed this way: \x, followed by the ASCII code value in hexadecimal (upper case - always 2 characters)

. Handle the following conversion specifier: p.

You don’t have to handle the flag characters You don’t have to handle field width You don’t have to handle precision You don’t have to handle the length modifiers

. Handle the following flag characters for non-custom conversion specifiers:

space

. Handle the following length modifiers for non-custom conversion specifiers:

l h Conversion specifiers to handle: d, i, u, o, x, X

. Handle the field width for non-custom conversion specifiers.

. Handle the precision for non-custom conversion specifiers.

. Handle the 0 flag character for non-custom conversion specifiers.

. Handle the - flag character for non-custom conversion specifiers.

. Handle the following custom conversion specifier:

r : prints the reversed string

. Handle the following custom conversion specifier:

R: prints the rot13'ed string

. All the above options work well together.
