@ -7308,9 +7308,12 @@ Returns a formatted version of its variable number of arguments
following the description given in its first argument,
which must be a string.
The format string follows the same rules as the @ANSI{sprintf}.
The only differences are that the conversion specifiers and modifiers
@id{F}, @id{n}, @T{*}, @id{h}, @id{L}, and @id{l} are not supported
and that there is an extra specifier, @id{q}.
The accepted conversion specifiers are
@id{A}, @id{a}, @id{c}, @id{d}, @id{E}, @id{e}, @id{f}, @id{G}, @id{g},
@id{i}, @id{o}, @id{p}, @id{s}, @id{u}, @id{X}, and @id{x},
plus a non-C specifier @id{q}.
The accepted flags are @Char{-}, @Char{+}, @Char{#},
@Char{0}, and @Char{ } (space).
Both width and precision, when present,
are limited to two digits.
