SYNOPSIS

#include "l/l_sys_io.h"

Example compile flags (system dependent):
  -DLINUX_X86_64 -DLINUX_X86_64_OPTERON  -DGNU_COMPILER 
   -I/home/kobus/include
   -L/home/kobus/misc/load/linux_x86_64_opteron -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

long pso
(
	const char *format_str,
	...
);

DESCRIPTION

The formating options are similar to the standard ones, except that the standard ones are not very standard! Thus the KJB library routine provides some semblence of platform independent IO. Also, there are additional formatting options available (see kjb_fprintf for details). This routine works together with the rest of the KJB library to implement paging and flushing of all files when stderr is written to. This function is not re-entrant (i.e., not thread-safe).

RETURNS

ERROR on failure and the number of characters printed on success.

MACROS

This routine is similar is spirit to the system macro "printf", and hence an alternate name "kjb_printf" is provided.

kjb_fprintf

DISCLAIMER

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
