* - Max 128 parameters
* - No 'long double' support.
*
*************************************************************************
*
*
* 1998/01/10 (v2.8)
* Daniel
* - Updated version number.
* - Corrected a static non-zero prefixed width problem.
*
* 1998/11/17 - Daniel
* Added daprintf() and dvaprintf() for allocated printf() and vprintf().
* They return an allocated buffer with the result inside. The result must
* be free()ed!
*
* 1998/08/23 - breese
*
* Converted all non-printable (and non-whitespace) characters into
* their decimal ASCII value preceeded by a '\' character
* (this only applies to snprintf family so far)
*
* Added %S (which is the same as %#s)
*
* 1998/05/05 (v2.7)
*
* Fixed precision and width qualifiers (%.*s)
*
* Added support for snprintf()
*
* Quoting (%#s) is disabled for the (nil) pointer
*
* 1997/06/09 (v2.6)
*
* %#s means that the string will be quoted with "
* (I was getting tired of writing \"%s\" all the time)
*
* [ERR] for strings changed to (nil)
*
* v2.5
* - Added C++ support
* - Prepended all internal functions with dprintf_
* - Defined the booleans
*
* v2.4
* - Added dvsprintf(), dvfprintf() and dvprintf().
* - Made the formatting function available with the name _formatf() to enable
* other *printf()-inspired functions. (I considered adding a dmsprintf()
* that works like sprintf() but allocates the destination string and
* possibly enlarges it itself, but things like that should be done with the
* new _formatf() instead.)
*
* v2.3
* - Small modifications to make it compile nicely at both Daniel's and
* Bjorn's place.
*
* v2.2
* - Made it work with text to the right of the last %!
* - Introduced dprintf(), dsprintf() and dfprintf().
* - Float/double support enabled. This system is currently using the ordinary
* sprintf() function. NOTE that positional parameters, widths and precisions
* will still work like it should since the d-system takes care of that and
* passes that information re-formatted to the old sprintf().
*
* v2.1
* - Fixed space padding (i.e %d was extra padded previously)
* - long long output is supported
* - alternate output is done correct like in %#08x
*
****************************************************************************/
* If you ever want truly portable and good *printf() clones, the project that
* took on from here is named 'Trio' and you find more details on the trio web
* page at http://daniel.haxx.se/trio/
