.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
.P
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
.P
.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.
.P
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.
.P
.BR \%register_printf_specifier ()
supersedes
.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.
