24 January 2019

• curprev 23:2423:24, 24 January 2019 Wiki559 talk contribs 1,610 bytes 0 Since this page refers to the shell built-in version of printf, I changed the link in the references to point to print(1) which is the commands part of the Linux manuals. The link previously point to printf(3) which is the Linux/libc function for C programmers. While this change will avoid one small point of confusion, a more thorough cleanup helping the reader to understand that both printf(1) and printf(3) are part of Linux and the various shells would be helpful. undo
