Ft_Printf

Second project of my 42 cursus.

Because ft_putnbr() and ft_putstr() aren’t enough

Overview

Ft_printf is a cool and efficient implementation of the printf() function! This library, coded from scratch, it aims to replicate the functionality of the original printf() found in the libc library.

Project Structure

Ensure you have the following files in your project directory:

• Makefile: To compile the project with various options.
• include/ft_printf.h: Header files containing function prototypes and necessary declarations.
• src/*.c: Source code files implementing the ft_printf() function and supporting functions.

Makefile Commands

• make: Compiles the project and creates the libftprintf.a library.
• make help: Displays a list of available commands.
• make clean: Removes object files, keeping only the source code.
• make fclean: Cleans the project by removing the compiled library and object files.
• make re: Performs a full recompilation by cleaning and then recompiling the project.

External Functions

The implementation uses the following external functions:

• malloc: Allocates memory dynamically.
• free: Frees allocated memory.
• write: Writes to a file descriptor.
• va_start, va_arg, va_copy, va_end: Functions for handling variable arguments.

Functionality

The main attraction of this library is the ft_printf() function, which emulates the behavior of the original printf(). It supports the following conversions:

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

Bonus Features

In addition to the standard functionality, the library includes the following bonuses:

• Any combination of the following flags: -, 0, .
• And all the following flags: #, +, space, *

Important Notes

• Buffer management from the original printf() is deliberately not implemented.
