| Summary | 0000727: Missing %b mention in printf utility remark about errors | ||||
| Description | The last sentence of the EXTENDED DESCRIPTION section of the printf utility specification, says: It is not considered an error if an argument operand is not completely used for a c or s conversion. It's missing a mention about the 'b' conversion specifier character, which is directly related to 's'. I guess it should be handled in the same way in the described situation, but the specs should make that clear. Note: I'm reading from the web at http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/printf.html, so I just filled bogus page number and line number. | ||||
| Desired Action | Add 'b' to the end of that sentence, making it: It is not considered an error if an argument operand is not completely used for a c, s or b conversion. | ||||
