NAME
printf_conversion - printf, sprintf, fprintf conversion specifications
DESCRIPTION
Each conversion specification in the printf , sprintf , f printfformat
parameter has the following syntax:
- A % (percent) sign.
- Zero or more options, which modify the meaning of the conversion
specification. The following list contains the option characters
and their meanings:
- : Left align, within the field, the result of the conver-
sion.
+ : Begin the result of a signed conversion with a sign (+
or -).
"space" : Prefix a space character to the result if the first
character of a signed conversion is not a sign. If both
the (space) and + options appear, the (space) option is
ignored.
# : Convert the value to an alternate form. For c, d, i,
s, and u conversions, the # option has no effect. For o
conversion, # increases the precision to force the first
digit of the result to be a 0 (zero). For x and X
conversions, a nonzero result has 0x or 0X prefixed to
it. For e, E, f, g, and G conversions, the result always
contains a decimal point, even if no digits follow it.
For g and G conversions, trailing zeros are not removed
from the result.
0 : Pad to the field width, using leading zeros (following
any indication of sign or base) for d, i, o, u, x, X, e,
E, f, g, and G conversions; no space padding is per-
formed. If the 0 and - (dash) flags both appear, the 0
flag is ignored. For d, i, o u, x, and X conversions, if
a precision is specified, the 0 flag is also ignored.
An optional decimal digit string that specifies the minimum field width.
If the converted value has fewer characters than the field width, the field
is padded on the left to the length specified by the field width. If the
left-adjustment option is specified, the field is padded on the right.
An optional precision. The precision is a . (dot) followed by a decimal
digit string. If no precision is given, the parameter is treated as 0
(zero). The precision specifies:
- The minimum number of digits to appear for d, u, o, x, or X conver-
sions
- The number of digits to appear after the decimal point for e, E, and
f conversions
- The maximum number of significant digits for g and G conversions
- The maximum number of characters to be printed from a string in an s
conversion
- A character that indicates the type of conversion to be applied:
% : Performs no conversion. Displays %.
d,i :Accepts an integer value and converts it to signed decimal
notation. The precision specifies the minimum number of digits
to appear. If the value being converted can be represented in
fewer digits, it is expanded with leading zeros. The default
precision is 1. The result of converting a zero value with a
precision of zero is a null string. Specifying a field width
with a zero as a leading character causes the field width value
to be padded with leading zeros.
u :Accepts an integer value and converts it to unsigned decimal
notation. The precision specifies the minimum number of digits
to appear. If the value being converted can be represented in
fewer digits, it is expanded with leading zeros. The default
precision is 1. The result of converting a zero value with a
precision of zero is a null string. Specifying a field width
with a zero as the leading character causes the field width
value to be padded with leading zeros.
o :Accepts an integer value and converts it to unsigned octal
notation. The precision specifies the minimum number of digits
to appear. If the value being converted can be represented in
fewer digits, it is expanded with leading zeros. The default
precision is 1. The result of converting a zero value with a
precision of zero is a null string. Specifying a field width
with a zero as the leading character causes the field width
value to be padded with leading zeros. An octal value for field
width is not implied.
x, X :Accepts an integer value and converts it to unsigned hexade-
cimal notation. The letters ``abcdef'' are used for the x
conversion; the letters ``ABCDEF'' are used for the X conver-
sion. The precision specifies the minimum number of digits to
appear. If the value being converted can be represented in
fewer digits, it is expanded with leading zeros. The default
precision is 1. The result of converting a zero value with a
precision of zero is a null string. Specifying a field width
with a zero as the leading character causes the field width
value to be padded with leading zeros.
f : Accepts a float or double value and converts it to decimal
notation in the format %[-]ddd.ddd. The number of digits after
the decimal point is equal to the precision specification.
- If no precision is specified, six digits are output.
- If the precision is zero, no decimal point appears and the
system outputs a number rounded to the integer nearest to
value.
- If a decimal point is output, at least one digit is output
before it.
e, E :Accepts a real and converts it to the exponential form
%[-]d.ddde+/-dd. There is one digit before the decimal point,
and the number of digits after the decimal point is equal to the
precision specification.
- If no precision is specified, ,
six digits are output.
- If the precision is zero, , no
decimal point appears.
- The E conversion character pro-
duces a number with E instead of e
before the exponent. The exponent
always contains at least two
digits. If the value is zero, the
exponent is zero.
g, G : Accepts a real and converts it in the style of the e, E, or f
conversion characters, with the precision specifying the number
of significant digits. Trailing zeros are removed from the
result. A decimal point appears only if it is followed by a
digit. The style used depends on the value converted. Style e
(E, if G is the flag used) results only if the exponent result-
ing from the conversion is less than -4, or if it is greater or
equal to the precision.
c :Accepts and displays an integer value converted to a character.
s :Accepts a string value and displays characters from the string
to the end or the number of characters indicated by the preci-
sion is reached. If no precision is specified, all characters
up to the end are displayed.
A field width or precision can be indicated by an * (asterisk) instead of a
digit string. In this case, an integer value parameter supplies the field
width or precision. The value parameter converted for output is not
fetched until the conversion letter is reached, so the parameters specify-
ing field width or precision must appear before the value to be converted
(if any).
If the result of a conversion is wider than the field width, the field is
expanded to contain the converted result.
The representation of the plus sign depends on whether the + or (space)
formatting option is specified.
