Description

• The difference with the mac version of printf is how 'null' values are printed
• The function is declared as follows :

  int ft_printf(const char *, ...);
  

• the attribute mechanism in the header allows us to attach characteristics to function declarations to allow the compiler to perform more error checking:

  __attribute__((format (printf, 1, 2)));
  

  

• It does not take care of the buffer management like the real printf.
  
• It will manage the following conversions: cspdiouxX%n.
  
• It will manage any combination of the following flags: '-0.*#' and minimum fieldwidth with all conversions.
