Small recreation of C standard library's printf.

42Madrid printf proyect implementation

This proyect consists in creating a library that contains the essential information to reproduce printf C standard library's function. In this proyect we were allowed to use libft funcions. Some of their behavior have changed, in order to gain extra functionality to make printf run properly and not recreating functions.

Usage:

1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https:://github.com/riveroo19/42my_printf.git
   

2. Go inside the proyect directory and type make:

    cd 42my_printf; make
   

3. (Optional) Remove object files:

    make clean
   

4. Take libftprintf.a file to one of your proyects and include the ft_printf header on your files:

#include "path/to/ft_printf.h"

/*
	code
*/

5. Compile using libftprintf.a:

    gcc <.c files> -L. -lft -o <program>
    ./<program>
   

Make options:

• all: compiles the library
• re: recompiles the library
• clean: removes all object files
• fclean: removes libft.aand object files

My_printf specifications:

It supports the following conversion specifiers:

Specifier	Output
%c	A character
%s	String
%p	Pointer address
%d	Decimal (base 10) number
%i	Integer in base 10
%u	Unsigned decimal (base 10) number
%x	Unsigned hexadecimal (lowercase)
%X	Unsigned hexadecimal (uppercase)
%%	Prints %character

It works as printf, but the conversion types supported are limited, and the extra functionalities.

Disclaimer

At 42School, almost every project must be written in accordance to the Norm, the school's coding standard. As a result, the implementation of certain parts may appear strange and for sure had room for improvement.
