printf implementation

[srini at diablo.amd.com]

Hello.

I would like to know why printf is implemented separately for shells
(like in C shell)? I know one reason - efficiency. Are there others?

Also, how is printf implemeted (upto the _write level) in library?
It calls a function _doprnt. What happens from there?

Post replies. Or send them to srini at cayman.AMD.COM.

Thanks.
Srini.
