Description Christian Weisgerber freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-07-10 21:48:37 UTC 
Ingo Schwarze has rewritten the printf(3) man page for OpenBSD. I think the result is a huge improvement and I would like to suggest that FreeBSD incorporate this rewrite.

Return to the pool since I currently didn't have the time to work on this.

This update looks real good and quite clear. I am looking at seeing how these updates can be incorporated and suggested for an update to this particular manual page.
