+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions serve to extend and/or modify the behavior of the
+.BR printf (3)
+family of functions.
+.SS register_printf_specifier()
+This function registers a custom conversion specifier for the
+.BR printf (3)
+family of functions.
+.TP
+.I spec
+The character which will be used as a conversion specifier in the format string.
+.TP
+.I func
+Callback function that will be executed by the
+.BR printf (3)
+family of functions
+to format the input arguments into the output
+.IR stream .
+.RS
+.TP
+.I stream
+Output stream where the formatted output should be printed.
+This stream transparently represents the output,
+even in the case of functions that write to a string.
+.TP
+.I info
+Structure that holds context information,
+including the modifiers specified in the format string.
+This holds the same contents as in
+.IR arginfo .
+.TP
+.I args
+Array of pointers to the arguments to the
+.BR printf (3)\c
+-like function.
+.RE
+.TP
+.I arginfo
+Callback function that will be executed by the
+.BR printf (3)
+family of functions
+to know how many arguments should be parsed for the custom specifier
+and also their types.
+.RS
+.TP
+.I info
+Structure that holds context information,
+including the modifiers specified in the format string.
+This holds the same contents as in
+.IR func .
+.TP
+.I n
+Number of arguments remaining to be parsed.
+.TP
+.I argtypes
+This array should be set to
+define the type of each of the arguments that will be parsed.
+Each element in the array represents one of the arguments to be parsed,
+in the same order that they are passed to the
+.BR printf (3)\c
+-like function.
+Each element should be set to a base type
+.RB ( PA_ *)
+from the enum above,
+or a custom one,
+and optionally ORed with an appropriate length modifier
+.RB ( PA_FLAG_ *).
+.RS
+.PP
+The type is determined by using one of the following constants:
+.TP
+.B PA_INT
+.IR int .
+.TP
+.B PA_CHAR
+.IR int ,
+cast to
+.IR char .
+.TP
+.B PA_WCHAR
+.IR wchar_t .
+.TP
+.B PA_STRING
+.IR "const char\~*" ,
+a \(aq\e0\(aq-terminated string.
+.TP
+.B PA_WSTRING
+.IR "const wchar_t\~*" ,
+a wide character L\(aq\e0\(aq-terminated string.
+.TP
+.B PA_POINTER
+.IR void\~* .
+.TP
+.B PA_FLOAT
+.IR float .
+.TP
+.B PA_DOUBLE
+.IR double .
+.TP
+.B PA_LAST
+TODO.
+.RE
+.TP
+.I size
+For user-defined types,
+the size of the type (in bytes) should also be specified through this array.
+Otherwise, leave it unused.
+.RE
+.PP
+.I arginfo
+is called before
+.IR func ,
+and prepares some information needed to call
+.IR func .
+.SS register_printf_modifier()
+TODO
+.SS register_printf_type()
+TODO
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.BR \%register_printf_specifier (),
+.BR \%register_printf_modifier (),
+and
+.BR \%register_printf_type ()
+return zero on success, or \-1 on error.
+.SS Callbacks
+The callback of type
+.I printf_function
+should return the number of characters written,
+or \-1 on error.
+.PP
+The callback of type
+.I \%printf_arginfo_size_function
+should return the number of arguments to be parsed by this specifier.
+It also passes information about the type of those arguments
+to the caller through
+.IR argtypes .
+On error, it should return \-1.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+The specifier was not a valid character.
+.SH STANDARDS
+GNU.
+.SH HISTORY
+.BR \%register_printf_function (3)
+is an older function similar to
+.BR \%register_printf_specifier (),
+and is now deprecated.
+That function can't handle user-defined types.
+.PP
+.BR \%register_printf_specifier ()
+superseeds
+.BR \%register_printf_function (3).
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The following example program registers the 'b' and 'B' specifiers
+to print integers in binary format,
+mirroring rules for other unsigned conversion specifiers like 'x' and 'u'.
+This can be used to print in binary prior to C23.
