cprintf

Writes formatted output to the screen.

Defined in header <conio.h>

Syntax

#include <conio.h>
int cprintf(const char *format[, argument, ...]);

Portability

Remarks

must be the same number of format specifiers as arguments.

on format specifiers.

The string is written either directly to screen memory or by way of a BIOS call, depending on the value of the global variable diredvideo.

Unlike fprintf and printf, cprintf does not translate linefeed characters (\n) into carriage-return/linefeed character pairs (\r\n).

Return value

cprintf returns the number of characters output.
