ft_printf

Because ft_putnbr() and ft_putstr() aren’t enough

Description

libftprintf is a C library that implements the ft_printf() function, designed to mimic the behavior of the standard printf() function. This project is an exercise in recreating essential functionalities of printf() while adhering to specific requirements.

Prototype

int ft_printf(const char *format, ...);

External Functions Allowed

• malloc

• free

• write

• va_start

• va_arg

• va_copy

• va_end

Supported Conversions

• %c: Prints a single character.

• %s: Prints a string (as defined by the common C convention).

• %p: Prints a pointer argument in hexadecimal format.

• %d: Prints a signed decimal (base 10) number.

• %i: Prints an integer in base 10.

• %u: Prints an unsigned decimal (base 10) number.

• %x: Prints a number in hexadecimal (base 16) lowercase format.

• %X: Prints a number in hexadecimal (base 16) uppercase format.

• %%: Prints a percent sign.

How to use this project

1. Clone the Repository

https://github.com/Thais-Malheiros/ft_printf

2. To compile the library, use the following command:

make

This will create the libftprintf.a library at the root of your repository.

You can now use the libftprintf.a library in your project. The ft_printf function can be utilized just like the standard printf function from the C library.

Example of a Main File:

#include "libftprintf.h"

int main(void)
{
    char *str;

    str = "Hello, World!";
    ft_printf("String: %s\n", str);
    return (0);
}

3. To clean the compiled files, use:

make clean

4. To remove all compiled files and the library, use:

make fclean

5. To recompile the library, use:

make re
