printf

PRINTF(1)                                                          User Commands                                                         PRINTF(1)

NAME

       printf - format and print data

SYNOPSIS

       printf FORMAT [ARGUMENT]...
       printf OPTION

DESCRIPTION

       Print ARGUMENT(s) according to FORMAT, or execute according to OPTION:

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit

       FORMAT controls the output as in C printf.  Interpreted sequences are:

       "     double quote

       \     backslash

       a     alert (BEL)

            backspace

       c     produce no further output

       e     escape

       f     form feed

       
     new line

       
     carriage return

       	     horizontal tab

       v     vertical tab

       NNN   byte with octal value NNN (1 to 3 digits)

       xHH   byte with hexadecimal value HH (1 to 2 digits)

       uHHHH Unicode (ISO/IEC 10646) character with hex value HHHH (4 digits)

       UHHHHHHHH
              Unicode character with hex value HHHHHHHH (8 digits)

       %%     a single %

       %b     ARGUMENT as a string with '' escapes interpreted, except that octal escapes are of the form  or NNN

       %q     ARGUMENT  is  printed  in  a format that can be reused as shell input, escaping non-printable characters with the proposed POSIX $''
              syntax.

       and all C format specifications ending with one of diouxXfeEgGcs, with ARGUMENTs converted to proper type first.  Variable widths are  han-
       dled.

       NOTE:  your  shell  may  have its own version of printf, which usually supersedes the version described here.  Please refer to your shell's
       documentation for details about the options it supports.
