Printf (Unix)
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Printf_(Unix) an entity of type: Thing
In Unix and Unix-like operating systems, printf ("print formatted") is a shell builtin (and utility program) that formats and prints data. The command accepts a printf format string, which specifies methods for formatting items, and a list of items to be formatted. Named historically after the intention of printing to a printer, it now actually outputs to stdout. Characters in the format string are copied to the output or, if a % is encountered, are used to format an item. In addition to the standard formats, %b causes printf to expand backslash escape sequences (for example
for newline), and %q outputs an item that can be used as shell input. The format string is reused if there are more items than format specs. Unused format specs provide a zero value or null string.
