/** @page pg_rt_str_format  The IPRT Format Strings
 *
 * IPRT implements most of the commonly used format types and flags with the
 * exception of floating point which is completely missing.  In addition IPRT
 * provides a number of IPRT specific format types for the IPRT typedefs and
 * other useful things.  Note that several of these extensions are similar to
 * \%p and doesn't care much if you try add formating flags/width/precision.
 *
 *
 * Group 0a, The commonly used format types:
 *      - \%s   - Takes a pointer to a zero terminated string (UTF-8) and
 *                prints it with the optionally adjustment (width, -) and
 *                length restriction (precision).
 *      - \%ls  - Same as \%s except that the input is UTF-16 (output UTF-8).
 *      - \%Ls  - Same as \%s except that the input is UCS-32 (output UTF-8).
 *      - \%S   - Same as \%s, used to convert to current codeset but this is
 *                now done by the streams code.  Deprecated, use \%s.
 *      - \%lS  - Ditto. Deprecated, use \%ls.
 *      - \%LS  - Ditto. Deprecated, use \%Ls.
 *      - \%c   - Takes a char and prints it.
 *      - \%d   - Takes a signed integer and prints it as decimal. Thousand
 *                separator (\'), zero padding (0), adjustment (-+), width,
 *                precision
 *      - \%i   - Same as \%d.
 *      - \%u   - Takes an unsigned integer and prints it as decimal. Thousand
 *                separator (\'), zero padding (0), adjustment (-+), width,
 *                precision
 *      - \%x   - Takes an unsigned integer and prints it as lowercased
 *                hexadecimal.  The special hash (\#) flag causes a '0x'
 *                prefixed to be printed. Zero padding (0), adjustment (-+),
 *                width, precision.
 *      - \%X   - Same as \%x except that it is uppercased.
 *      - \%o   - Takes an unsigned (?) integer and prints it as octal. Zero
 *                padding (0), adjustment (-+), width, precision.
 *      - \%p   - Takes a pointer (void technically) and prints it. Zero
 *                padding (0), adjustment (-+), width, precision.
 *
 * The \%d, \%i, \%u, \%x, \%X and \%o format types support the following
 * argument type specifiers:
 *      - \%ll  - long long (uint64_t).
 *      - \%L   - long long (uint64_t).
 *      - \%l   - long (uint32_t, uint64_t)
 *      - \%h   - short (int16_t).
 *      - \%hh  - char (int8_t).
 *      - \%H   - char (int8_t).
 *      - \%z   - size_t.
 *      - \%j   - intmax_t (int64_t).
 *      - \%t   - ptrdiff_t.
 * The type in parentheses is typical sizes, however when printing those types
 * you are better off using the special group 2 format types below (\%RX32 and
 * such).
 *
 *
 * Group 0b, IPRT format tricks:
 *      - %M    - Replaces the format string, takes a string pointer.
 *      - %N    - Nested formatting, takes a pointer to a format string
 *                followed by the pointer to a va_list variable.  The va_list
 *                variable will not be modified and the caller must do va_end()
 *                on it.  Make sure the va_list variable is NOT in a parameter
 *                list or some gcc versions/targets may get it all wrong.
 *
 *
 * Group 1, the basic runtime typedefs (excluding those which obviously are
 * pointer):

 * Group 2, the generic integer types which are prefered over relying on what
 * bit-count a 'long', 'short',  or 'long long' has on a platform. This are

 *                            hex format. Use the precision to specify the length, and the width to
 *                            set the number of bytes per line. Default width and precision is 16.
 *      - \%RhxD            - Same as \%Rhxd, except that it skips duplicate lines.
 *      - \%Rhxs            - Takes a pointer to the memory to be displayed as a hex string,
 *                            i.e. a series of space separated bytes formatted as two digit hex value.
 *                            Use the precision to specify the length. Default length is 16 bytes.
 *                            The width, if specified, is ignored.
 *                            The space separtor can get change to a colon by
 *                            using the ' flag, and removed entirely using \#.
 *      - \%RhXd            - Same as \%Rhxd, but takes an additional uint64_t
 *                            value with the memory start address/offset after
 *                            the memory pointer.
 *      - \%RhXD            - Same as \%RhxD, but takes an additional uint64_t
 *                            value with the memory start address/offset after
 *                            the memory pointer.
 *      - \%RhXs            - Same as \%Rhxs, but takes an additional uint64_t
 *                            value with the memory start address/offset after
 *                            the memory pointer.
 *
 *      - \%Rhcb            - Human readable byte size formatting, using
 *                            binary unit prefixes (GiB, MiB and such).  Takes a
 *                            64-bit unsigned integer as input.  Does one
 *                            decimal point by default, can do 0-3 via precision
 *                            field.  No rounding when calculating fraction.
 *                            The space flag add a space between the value and

 *                            default, can do 0-3 via precision field.  No
 *                            rounding when calculating fraction.  The space
 *                            flag add a space between the value and unit.

 *                            Note! Reduced output when IN_RT_STATIC is defined (so please avoid).
 *      - \%Rwc             - Takes a long Windows error code as argument. Will insert the status
