/* This is a limited version of sprintf().  It is useful for Minix-PC and
 * Coherent-286 because those systems are both limited to 64k+64k and the
 * standard sprintf() is just too damn big.
 *
 * It should also be useful for OS-9 because OS-9's sprintf() doesn't
 * understand the true meaning of asterisks in a format string.  This one
 * does.
 */

/* Place-holders in format strings look like "%<pad><clip><type>".
 *
 * The <pad> adds space to the front (or, if negative, to the back) of the
 * output value, to pad it to a given width.  If <pad> is absent, then 0 is
 * assumed.  If <pad> is an asterisk, then the next argument is assumed to
 * be an (int) which used as the pad width.
 *
 * The <clip> string can be absent, in which case no clipping is done.
 * However, if it is present, then it should be either a "." followed by
 * a number, or a "." followed by an asterisk.  The asterisk means that the
 * next argument is an (int) which should be used as the pad width.  Clipping
 * only affects strings; for other data types it is ignored.
 *
 * The <type> is one of "s" for strings, "c" for characters (really ints that
 * are assumed to be legal char values), "d" for ints, "ld" for long ints, or
 * "%" to output a percent sign.
