For single-byte values, it's probably a tiny bit faster to go only _once_ through for *printf() family formatter, i.e.: - fprintf(stderr, "\nFixed Value: 0x"); - fprintf(stderr, "%x", hdr->fixed_val); + fprintf(stderr, "\nFixed Value: 0x%x", hdr->fixed_val); Another nit that I noticed is that your last line doesn't end with "\n": > fprintf(stderr, "\nJoybus Entry Point: 0x"); > for (i=0; i < sizeof(hdr->joybus_entry); i++) fprintf(stderr, "%x", > hdr->joybus_entry[i]); Some terminal setups will *not* output the last line if it does not finish properly with a "\n", so it may be worth editing the code to avoid the "\nXXX" format idiom, and go for a format style that puts "\n" at the _end_ of output lines: fprintf(stderr, "Nintendo Logo: 0x"); for (i = 0; i < sizeof(hdr->nintendo_logo); i++) fprintf(stderr, "%02x", hdr->nintendo_logo[i]); fprintf(stderr, "\n"); fprintf(stderr, "Fixed Value: 0x%02x\n", hdr->fixed_val); _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
