DESCRIPTION

These functions serve to extend and/or modify the behavior of the printf(3) family of functions.

register_printf_specifier()

This function registers a custom conversion specifier for the printf(3) family of functions.

spec: The character which will be used as a conversion specifier in the format string.
func: Callback function that will be executed by the printf(3) family of functions to format the input arguments into the output stream.

stream: Output stream where the formatted output should be printed. This stream transparently represents the output, even in the case of functions that write to a string.
info: Structure that holds context information, including the modifiers specified in the format string. This holds the same contents as in arginfo.
args: Array of pointers to the arguments to the printf(3)-like function.

arginfo: Callback function that will be executed by the printf(3) family of functions to know how many arguments should be parsed for the custom specifier and also their types.

info: Structure that holds context information, including the modifiers specified in the format string. This holds the same contents as in func.
n: Number of arguments remaining to be parsed.
argtypes: This array should be set to define the type of each of the arguments that will be parsed. Each element in the array represents one of the arguments to be parsed, in the same order that they are passed to the printf(3)-like function. Each element should be set to a base type (PA_*) from the enum above, or a custom one, and optionally ORed with an appropriate length modifier (PA_FLAG_*).

The type is determined by using one of the following constants:

PA_INT: int.
PA_CHAR: int, cast to char.
PA_WCHAR: wchar_t.
PA_STRING: const char *, a '\0'-terminated string.
PA_WSTRING: const wchar_t *, a wide character L'\0'-terminated string.
PA_POINTER: void *.
PA_FLOAT: float.
PA_DOUBLE: double.
PA_LAST: TODO.

size: For user-defined types, the size of the type (in bytes) should also be specified through this array. Otherwise, leave it unused.

arginfo is called before func, and prepares some information needed to call func.

register_printf_modifier()

TODO

register_printf_type()

TODO

RETURN VALUE

register_printf_specifier(), register_printf_modifier(), and register_printf_type() return zero on success, or -1 on error.

Callbacks

The callback of type printf_function should return the number of characters written, or -1 on error.

The callback of type printf_arginfo_size_function should return the number of arguments to be parsed by this specifier. It also passes information about the type of those arguments to the caller through argtypes. On error, it should return -1.

ERRORS

EINVAL: The specifier was not a valid character.
