Improve wording to avoid confusion about the return value of {v,}asprintf(3)

printf(3): mention snprintb(3)

Correct floating-point terminology.

Might want to harmonize the printf(3) and wprintf(3) descriptions of
`%a'.

Fix plurals.

Remove workaround for ancient HTML generation code.

Insert comma between two Nm entries.
Replace Nm with Fn to refer a function.

branches: 1.65.2; 1.65.4;
Remove duplicated 'i' from list of numeric formats

Return EOVERFLOW like FreeBSD does if the buffer size exceeds INT_MAX
(well FreeBSD documents INT_MAX + 1, but in the code it is INT_MAX).

branches: 1.63.6;
Grammar.

_ss improvements

Mark up occurence of printf() in text with .Fn

In newfmt() example one level of indentation is enough.

Fix typo.

branches: 1.58.6; 1.58.8; 1.58.12;
vsnprintf_ss does NOT handle floating point formats

Add punctuation.

document vsnprintf_ss

Observe the following spelling:
- wide character (noun)
- wide-character (adjective)

Inspired by jmc@OpenBSD.

I assume "POSIX 200805" is IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (POSIX.1), so use
appropriate .St.

add dprintf and vdprintf

Use plain references and don't depend on multiple expansion runs.

Mask %U, it is a macro nowadays.

Mention the recommended usage of inttypes(3) when applicable.

No .br after .Sh.

merge christos-time_t

fix return values for snprintf and vsnprintf.

Sort sections, sort SEE ALSO, remove trailing whitespace.

move a description of return values into the RETURN VALUES section.

branches: 1.44.20;
bring in many changes from FreeBSD

As suggested by Johan Veenhuizen in PR 32981, reword slightly to avoid
the impression return values would always be -1.
Approved by christos.

Mark up NULL and -.

Note that for asprintf and vasprintf it is more portable to check for
a -1 return, rather than ret being set to NULL on error.

From Otto Moerbeek.

PR/30971: Noriyuki Soda: Fix %ll prints long long, and %q is not portable.

Document that passing NULL to %s prints "(null)".

Use St -isoC-9X instead of St -isoC9X, to be in sync with groff.

plural "characters" for ret of {v}snprintf

Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22280, verified by myself.

Drop trailing space.

Oops, typo in previous.

As prompted by Thomas Klausner, add a RETURN VALUES section.

Misc. fixes from jmc@openbsd.

Use
.In header.h
instead of
.Fd #include \*[Lt]header.h\*[Gt]
Much easier to read and write, and supported by groff for ages.
Okayed by ross.

Merge the nathanw_sa branch.

Fix typos (from PR 19650)

Document that the *printf() functions can return a negative value under
output error conditions.

New sentence, new line. From Robert Elz.

import CAVEATS sections from OpenBSD.
with little tweak by me.

Generate <>& symbolically.

One pasto, one typo.

Fix a mis-pasting in previous; pointed out by Thomas Klausner.

C99:
* Recognize %F.
* Convert {Infinity,NaN} to {"inf","nan"} for %[efg], and to
{"INF","NAN"} for %[EFG].

Drop a VAX/Tahoe reference (the VAX case wasn't true with the current compiler
either).

Mainly sort SEE ALSO, but also sort sections, and some punctuation and
paragraph fixes.

Clarify C standards situation a bit.

* Move definitions of exact-width integer types from <machine/types.h>
to <sys/types.h> and <sys/stdint.h>.
* Add a new C99 <stdint.h> header, which provides integer types of
explicit width, related limits and integer constant macros.
* Extend <inttypes.h> to provide <stdint.h> definitions and format
macros for printf() and scanf().
* Add C99 strtoimax() and strtoumax() functions.
* Use the latter within scanf().
* Add C99 %j, %t and %z printf()/scanf() conversions for
intmax_t, pointer-type and size_t arguments.

Fix an ... interesting pasto in the description of the l length modifier
that's been here forever.

Xr printf(9)

Sprinkle some __restrict into stdio.

C99: Passing a null pointer as the buffer argument to snprintf() and
vsnprintf() is permitted when the size argument is zero as well; mostly
from Peter Seebach in PR standards/9603.

branches: 1.13.10;
Document %ll[diouxX] as requested by <bgrayson@ece.utexas.edu> in PR
standards/3527. Also describe the argument to such a format as "quad_t",
not "quad int".

first pass at fixing up capitalization of function names and
arguments; ensure that each is correct with respect to the
implementation, rather than being correct as per english.

document asprintf and vasprintf

Changed HISTORY section to reflect that vsnprintf and snprintf first
appeared in 4.4BSD, rather than ``the current release''.

Implement a new manual page category ``SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS''
(suggested by mycroft)

fix mdoc references and other mistakes

add LIBRARY section to man page

alternate -> alternative, per PR 2643

Merged with 4.4lite.
Changed to conform to NetBSD's new RCS Id convention.

Fix typo, from Giles Lean (Fixes bug #248)

Fix spelling errors.

Add RCS indentifiers.
