The ft_printf
library provides a function that mimics the behavior of the original printf
function in the C standard library. It is designed to handle various conversion specifiers allowing users to print formatted output to the standard output stream.
- Mimics the behavior of the original printf function.
- Supports the following conversion specifiers:
%c
: Prints a single character.%s
: Prints a string (as defined by the common C convention).%p
: Prints a void pointer argument in hexadecimal format.%d
: Prints a decimal (base 10) number.%i
: Prints an integer in base 10.%u
: Prints an unsigned decimal (base 10) number.%x
: Prints a number in hexadecimal (base 16) lowercase format.%X
: Prints a number in hexadecimal (base 16) uppercase format.%%
: Prints a percent sign.
To create the library, run the following command after cloning:
cd ft_printf && make
To test the library, compile your test code along with the ft_printf library as follows:
cd .. && cc -Wall -Wextra -Werror main.c ft_printf/ft_printf.a && ./a.out
The following functions were allowed to be used in this project:
Function | Man | Short Description |
---|---|---|
malloc | man 3 malloc | Allocates a block of memory dynamically |
free | man 3 free | Deallocates a block of memory |
write | man 2 write | Writes to a file descriptor |
va_start | man va_start | Initializes a va_list for variable arguments |
va_arg | man va_arg | Retrieves the next argument in a va_list |
va_copy | man va_copy | Copies the content of one va_list to another |
va_end | man va_end | Ends traversal of a va_list |
Additionally, using the libft
library was also allowed.
