.SH HISTORY
This formatted print library originally
appeared as part of the Plan 9 C library.
.IR print (2),
.IR utf (6),
.IR errstr (2)
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
These routines return negative numbers or nil for errors and set
.IR errstr .
.SH BUGS
The Plan 9 version supports Unicode strings and produces UTF output.
This version assumes that characters are always represented by 1-byte values.
