22.3.12 Notes about FORMAT</H2> <P>
|
|
Formatted output is performed not only by <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_format.htm#format"><B>format</B></A>, but by certain other functions that accept a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#format_control"><I>format control</I></A> the way <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_format.htm#format"><B>format</B></A> does. For example, error-signaling functions such as <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_cerror.htm#cerror"><B>cerror</B></A> accept <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#format_control"><I>format controls</I></A>. <P>
|
|
Note that the meaning of <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="a_nil.htm#nil"><B>nil</B></A> and <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="a_t.htm#t"><B>t</B></A> as destinations to <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_format.htm#format"><B>format</B></A> are different than those of <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="a_nil.htm#nil"><B>nil</B></A> and <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="a_t.htm#t"><B>t</B></A> as <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#stream_designator"><I>stream designators</I></A>. <P>
|
|
The <TT>~^</TT> should appear only at the beginning of a <TT>~<</TT> clause, because it aborts the entire clause in which it appears (as well as all following clauses). <P>
