<h4 class="subsection">14.2.10 Other Output Conversions</h4>
<p>This section describes miscellaneous conversions for <code>printf</code>.
</p>
<p>The ‘<samp>%c</samp>’ conversion prints a single character. The ‘<samp>-</samp>’
flag can be used to specify left-justification in the field, but no
other flags are defined, and no precision or type modifier can be given.
For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">printf ("%c%c%c%c%c", "h", "e", "l", "l", "o");
</pre></div>
<p>prints ‘<samp>hello</samp>’.
</p>
<p>The ‘<samp>%s</samp>’ conversion prints a string. The corresponding argument
must be a string. A precision can be specified to indicate the maximum
number of characters to write; otherwise characters in the string up to
but not including the terminating null character are written to the
output stream. The ‘<samp>-</samp>’ flag can be used to specify
left-justification in the field, but no other flags or type modifiers
are defined for this conversion. For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">printf ("%3s%-6s", "no", "where");
</pre></div>
<p>prints ‘<samp> nowhere </samp>’ (note the leading and trailing spaces).
