.SH NAME
_printf \- simple replication of printf function
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include "holberton.h"

.B int _printf(const char \fI*format\fR\fB, ...)\fR

.SH DESCRIPTION
\fB_printf()\fR produces output according  to  a \fformat\fR as described below. This function writes to  \fIstdout\fR, the  standard  output stream, under the control of a format string that specifies how  subsequent arguments  (or  arguments  accessed  via the variable-length argument facilities of \fBstdarg\fR(3)) are converted for output.

.SH RETURN VALUE
Upon successful return,  these  functions  return  the number  of characters printed (excluding the null byte used to end output to strings).

.SH THE CONVERSION SPECIFIER
A character that specifies the type of  conversion  to be applied.  The conversion specifiers and their meanings are:
.TP
\fBd\fR, \fBi\fR
The int argument is converted to signed decimal notation.
.TP
\fBc\fR
The  int  argument is  converted  to  an  unsigned  char,  and the resulting character is written.
.TP
\fBs\fR
The const char * argument is expected to  be  a  pointer  to  an
array  of character type (pointer to a string). Characters from the array  are  written  up  to(but  not  including)  a  terminating null byte ('\0').
.TP
\fB%\fR
A '%' is written.  No  argument  is  converted. The complete conversion specification is '%%'.
.TP
\fBo, u, x, X\fR
The unsigned int argument is converted to unsigned octal (o), unsigned decimal (u), or unsigned hexadecimal (x and X) notation.  The letters abcdef are used for x conversions; the letters ABCDEF are used for X conversions.
.TP
\fBp\fR
The void * pointer argument is printed in hexadecimal
.TP
\fBb\fR
The unsigned int argument is converted to binary.
