@@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ This is a tiny but **fully loaded** printf, sprintf and (v)snprintf implementation.
Primarily designed for usage in embedded systems, where printf is not available due to memory issues or in avoidance of linking against libc.
Using the standard libc printf may pull **a lot** of unwanted library stuff and can bloat code size about 20k or is not 100% thread safe. In this cases the following implementation can be used.
-Absolutely **NO dependencies** are required, *printf.c* brings all necessary routines, even its own fast `ftoa` (float), `ntoa` (decimal) conversion.
+Absolutely **NO dependencies** are required, *printf.c* brings all necessary routines, even its own fast `ftoa` (floating point), `ntoa` (decimal) conversion.
If memory footprint is really a critical issue, floating point and 'long long' support and can be turned off via the `PRINTF_SUPPORT_FLOAT` and `PRINTF_SUPPORT_LONG_LONG` compiler switches.
When using printf (instead of sprintf/snprintf) you have to provide your own `_putchar()` low level function as console/serial output.

So `printf("%.12f", 42.89522312345678)` gives `42.895223123000`.
- Exponential floating point format (e.g. `"%.10e"` to get `1.167e+65`) for large numbers is not supported yet. Sorry.
-- `double` type is not supported in the moment, downcast to `float` might by required.
