fprintf(3) OSS Library Calls Reference Manual
(zero) or null, the results are undefined.
S or ls Accepts a pointer to an array of wchar_t type. Wide characters from the
array are converted to an array of bytes containing multibyte characters
and the multibyte characters up to (but not including) the null character
are printed. If a precision is specified, then no more than the number of
bytes specified by the precision are printed. If the precision is not
specified or is greater than the size of the array of bytes, then the array of
wide characters must be terminated by a null wide character. If a
minimum field width is specified and the array of bytes occupy fewer
bytes than the specified width, the array is padded with space characters
to the specified width.
For TNS/E systems only, the behavior of ls is the same as the behavior of
S.
p Accepts a pointer to void. The value of the pointer is converted to a
sequence of printable characters, the same as unsigned hexadecimal
integer (x).
n Accepts a pointer to an integer into which is written the number of char-
acters written to the output stream so far by this call. No argument is
converted.
If the result of a conversion is wider than the field width, the field is expanded to contain the con-
verted result. No truncation occurs. However, a small precision can cause truncation on the
right.
The e, E, f, and g formats represent the special floating-point values as follows:
Quiet NaN NaN
Signaling NaN NaN
+/-INF +Inf or -Inf
+/-0 +0.0 or -0.0 (zero)
The representation of the + (plus sign) depends on whether the + or (space) formatting flag is
specified.
The fprintf( ) function allows for the insertion of a language-dependent radix character in the
output string. The radix character is defined by langinfo data in the program’s locale (category
LC_NUMERIC). In the C locale, or in a locale where the radix character is not defined, the
radix character defaults to . (period).
The st_ctime and st_mtime fields of the file are marked for update between the successful exe-
cution of the fprintf( ) function and the next successful completion of a call to the fflush( ) or
fclose( ) functions on the same stream, or a call to the exit( ) or abort( ) functions.
NOTES
This function supports both IEEE Std 754-1985 floating-point and Tandem floating-point values
in the native environment. IEEE values can include NaN and infinity, and the sign of 0.0 (zero)
can be either positive or negative. Refer to the fp_class(3) reference page for a description of
IEEE value classes.
Guardian functions are available to convert between floating-point formats. Refer to the Guar-
dian Programmer’s Guide for a discussion of floating-point conversions.
