     CPRINTF(DOS)             XENIX System V              CPRINTF(DOS)



     Name
          cprintf - Formats output.

     Syntax
          #include <conio.h>

          int cprintf (format[ arg... ]);
          char *format;

     Description
          The cprintf function formats and prints a series of
          characters and values directly to the console, using the
          putch function to output characters.  Each argument (if any)
          is converted and output according to the corresponding
          format specification in the format.  The format has the same
          form and function as the format argument for the printf
          function; see the printf reference page for a description of
          the format and arguments.

     Return Value
          cprintf returns the number of characters printed.

     See Also
          fprintf(S), printf(S), sprintf(S)

     Example
          #include <conio.h>

          int i = -16, j = 29; unsigned int k = 511;

          /* The following statement prints i=-16, j=0x1d, k=511 */

          cprintf ("i=%d, j=%#x, k=%u\n",i,j,k);

     Notes
          Unlike the fprintf, printf, and sprintf functions, cprintf
          does not translate linefeed (LF) characters into carriage
          return/linefeed combinations (CR-LF) on output.

          This call must be compiled with the -dos flag.
