38 /* The formatting functions supports a subset (and 2 extensions) of
39 the 'printf' format.
40 The extensions are:
41 %pS : print a string (like %s) but escaping chars for XML safety.
42 %ps : with --xml=no, synonym for %s, with --xml=yes, synonym of %pS.
44 Note: these extensions do not cause the compiler to barf with PRINTF_CHECK
45 as for the classical printf, %p requires a pointer, which must also
46 be provided for the %ps and %pS extensions. The s/S following %p
47 are understood by PRINTF_CHECK as characters to output.
