The function gPrintf() writes a formatted string to the currently nominated device through the routine gDisplayStr(). The function returns the number of characters transferred if successful.
This function provides a combination of gDisplayStr() and printf(3) functionality for GINO devices. Strings can therefore contain GINO escape sequences as well as printf escape and formatting functions and users are referred to gDisplayStr() and chapter 3 of their UNIX documentation for further information on this function.
