Description Jonathan Lennox 2002-06-14 02:10:01 UTC 
The *printf family of functions can, in a number of circumstances, fail, returning EOF.

None of these circumstances are documented in printf(3), nor indeed is the EOF return value at all.

I will add an ERRORS section to printf(3) and wprintf(3) and document the 
EOF return value.
