 +Converts (according to format format) and writes output to stream stream. Number of characters written, or negative value on error, is returned.\\
 +\\
 +optional flag:\\
 +\\
 +-  left adjust\\
 ++  always sign\\
 +0  zero pad\\
 +#  Alternate form: for conversion character o, first digit will be zero, for [xX], prefix 0x or 0X to non-zero value, for [eEfgG], always decimal point, for [gG] trailing zeros not removed. \\
 +\\
 +optional minimum width: if specified as *, value taken from next argument (which must be int).\\
 +optional . (separating width from precision)\\
 +optional precision: for conversion character s, maximum characters to be printed from the string, for [eEf], digits after decimal point, for [gG], significant digits, for an integer, minimum number of digits to be printed. If specified as *, value taken from next argument (which must be int).\\
 +\\
 +optional length modifier:\\
 +
 +h  short or unsigned short\\
 +l  long or unsigned long\\
 +L  long double\\
 +
 +conversion character:\\
 +
 +d,i   int argument, printed in signed decimal notation\\
 +o     int argument, printed in unsigned octal notation\\
 +x,X   int argument, printed in unsigned hexadecimal notation\\
 +u     int argument, printed in unsigned decimal notation\\
 +c     int argument, printed as single character\\
 +s     char* argument\\
 +f     double argument, printed with format [-]mmm.ddd\\

 +g,G   double argument\\
 +p     void* argument, printed as pointer\\
 +n     int* argument : the number of characters written to this point is written into argument\\
