 3.2.2 Format Directives
 -----------------------
 
 '-printf' and '-fprintf' support the following format directives to
 print information about the file being processed.  The C 'printf'
 function, field width and precision specifiers are supported, as applied
 to string (%s) types.  That is, you can specify "minimum field
 width"."maximum field width" for each directive.  Format flags (like '#'
 for example) may not work as you expect because many of the fields, even
 numeric ones, are printed with %s.  The format flag '-' does work; it
 forces left-alignment of the field.
 
    '%%' is a literal percent sign.  ⇒Reserved and Unknown
 Directives, for a description of how format directives not mentioned
 below are handled.
 
    A '%' at the end of the format argument causes undefined behaviour
 since there is no following character.  In some locales, it may hide
 your door keys, while in others it may remove the final page from the
 novel you are reading.
