Holberton School Printf

Description

This project is a custom implementation of the printf function in C, created as part of the Holberton School curriculum. The goal of the project is to build a simplified version of the standard printf function, which will handle a variety of format specifiers like integers, strings, characters, hexadecimal numbers, and more. It provides an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience with variadic functions, which allow a function to accept a variable number of arguments.

Features

• Custom implementation of the printf function.
• Supports various format specifiers such as:
  • %d / %i - for integers.
  • %s - for strings.
  • %c - for characters.
  • %x / %X - for hexadecimal values.
  • %p - for pointers.
  • %u - for unsigned integers.
• Modular design: Each format specifier is handled by its own function for better readability and scalability.
• CMake build system for multi-platform support.
• Includes test cases to validate functionality.

Files

• _printf.c: The main implementation of the custom printf function.
• _putchar.c: Contains the _putchar function used to print individual characters.
• main.c: Example main program for testing the custom printf.
• main.h: Header file with declarations for the functions.
• Makefile: Build system for compiling the project.
• man_3_printf: A man page for the custom printf function.
• print_* files: Functions that handle specific format specifiers (e.g., print_number.c, print_hexadecimal.c, print_octal.c, etc.).
