ft_printf

Description

ft_printf is a project from the 42 cursus that involves re-creating the C library function printf. The main objective is to understand the inner workings of this essential function, including variadic functions, format specifiers, and buffer management. The project requires implementing a custom ft_printf function that mimics the behavior of the standard printf.

Requirements

To compile and run the project, you will need:

• A Unix operating system (Linux or macOS).
• gcc or any C compiler.
• Make.

Installation

Clone the project repository and navigate to the main directory:

git clone https://github.com/PaLucena/ft_printf.git
cd ft_printf

Compile the project using the included Makefile:

make

This will generate the libftprintf.a library in the current directory.

Usage

To use the ft_printf function in your own project, include the libftprintf.a library and the corresponding header file:

#include "ft_printf.h"

Link the library during the compilation of your project:

gcc -o your_program your_program.c -L. -lftprintf

Supported Format Specifiers

The ft_printf function supports the following format specifiers:

• %c: Character
• %s: String
• %p: Pointer
• %d: Decimal integer
• %i: Integer
• %u: Unsigned integer
• %x: Hexadecimal integer (lowercase)
• %X: Hexadecimal integer (uppercase)
• %%: Percent sign

Project Structure

The project is organized into the following files and directories:

• src/: Contains the source code of the ft_printf implementation.
• include/: Contains the header files.
• Makefile: Build script to generate the library.
• README.md: Project documentation.
