C-style formatted output

Synopsis
fprintf(fileid, format, ...)

Description
This and the following routines provide input and output formatting capabilities similar to those provided in C libraries. See the UNIX man page on e.g. fprintf for more information. Differences from the C routines are described.

The ellipsis ... denotes that any number of arguments may be provided.

Arguments

fileid		File id
		Allowed:	file id as returned by fopen
format		c-style format description
		Allowed:	String
...		Additional arguments
		Allowed:	Strings, floats, ints, etc...

Example

- fp := dms.fopen('myfile', 'w')
- sourcename := 'mySource'
- hour := 12
- minute := 4
- seconds := 42.3
- dms.fprintf(fp,'%s %02d:%02d:%05.2f\n', sourcename, hour, minute, seconds)
- dms.fclose(fp)
T

In this example you'd get the following in myfile

mySource 12:04:42.30
