Details

Excerpt from:   Bash source   >>   printf command

Possible #if / #endif blocks are compile options. There is no mechanism yet on BoxMatrix to detect which of these are set per model.

printf [-v var] format [arguments]

Formats and prints ARGUMENTS under control of the FORMAT.

Options:
  -v var    assign the output to shell variable VAR rather than
        display it on the standard output

FORMAT is a character string which contains three types of objects: plain
characters, which are simply copied to standard output; character escape
sequences, which are converted and copied to the standard output; and
format specifications, each of which causes printing of the next successive
argument.

In addition to the standard format specifications described in printf(1),
printf interprets:

  %b    expand backslash escape sequences in the corresponding argument
  %q    quote the argument in a way that can be reused as shell input
  %(fmt)T    output the date-time string resulting from using FMT as a format
            string for strftime(3)

The format is re-used as necessary to consume all of the arguments.  If
there are fewer arguments than the format requires,  extra format
specifications behave as if a zero value or null string, as appropriate,
had been supplied.

Exit Status:
Returns success unless an invalid option is given or a write or assignment
error occurs.

printf [-v VAR] FORMAT [ARGUMENTS]

Write the formatted ARGUMENTS to the standard output under the
control of the FORMAT.  The '-v' option causes the output to be
assigned to the variable VAR rather than being printed to the
standard output.

The FORMAT is a character string which contains three types of
objects: plain characters, which are simply copied to standard
output, character escape sequences, which are converted and copied
to the standard output, and format specifications, each of which
causes printing of the next successive ARGUMENT.  In addition to
the standard 'printf(1)' formats, 'printf' interprets the following
extensions:

%b
     Causes 'printf' to expand backslash escape sequences in the
     corresponding ARGUMENT in the same way as 'echo -e' (*note
     Bash Builtins::).
%q
     Causes 'printf' to output the corresponding ARGUMENT in a
     format that can be reused as shell input.
%(DATEFMT)T
     Causes 'printf' to output the date-time string resulting from
     using DATEFMT as a format string for 'strftime'(3).  The
     corresponding ARGUMENT is an integer representing the number
     of seconds since the epoch.  Two special argument values may
     be used: -1 represents the current time, and -2 represents the
     time the shell was invoked.  If no argument is specified,
     conversion behaves as if -1 had been given.  This is an
     exception to the usual 'printf' behavior.

Arguments to non-string format specifiers are treated as C language
constants, except that a leading plus or minus sign is allowed, and
if the leading character is a single or double quote, the value is
the ASCII value of the following character.

The FORMAT is reused as necessary to consume all of the ARGUMENTS.
If the FORMAT requires more ARGUMENTS than are supplied, the extra
format specifications behave as if a zero value or null string, as
appropriate, had been supplied.  The return value is zero on
success, non-zero on failure.
