The patches are up on freefall: des> http://people.freebsd.org/~des/software/printf-20001209.diff I don't like this. I've tired enough to address af dependent programming. What character will you introduce for IPv7 or IPv8...? Furthermore, IPv6 address has scope that IPv4 doesn't have. %a should takes struct sockaddr * for the argument instead of struct in_addr *, and should be address independent. Do you have a plan to the standard like POSIX? -- Hajimu UMEMOTO @ Internet Mutual Aid Society Yokohama, Japan ume@mahoroba.org ume@bisd.hitachi.co.jp ume@{,jp.}FreeBSD.org http://www.imasy.org/~ume/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
