Hello, The info page describes printf as `printf' prints the FORMAT string, interpreting `%' directives and `\' escapes in the same way as the C `printf' function.
So, isn't `printf "%c" 65' supposed to print 'A' instead of '6'? Please let me know if it's a bug or not. Unable to sleep y'day night, I modified the code of printf.c in coreutils-5.2.1 and made a patch. Do I need to edit any makefiles? regards, GVK -- Real programmers don't work 9 to 5.
