+.TH printf 1 "18 June 2002" "GNU Shell Utilities 2.1"
+.SH NAME
+printf \- format and print data
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.BI printf " format " [ argument... ]
+.sp
+.B printf [\-\-help] [\-\-version]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B printf
+prints the
+.I format
+string, interpreting `%' directives and `\e' escapes in the same way
+as the C 
+.BR printf (3)
+function.  The
+.I format
+argument is re-used as many times as necessary to convert all of the
+given 
+.IR argument s.
+.P
+.B printf
+recognizes the following escapes to specify the number of the charcter to
+print
+.IP \e0ooo
+Octal number (`ooo' is 0 to 3 digits)
+.IP \exhhh
+Hexadecimal number (`hhh' is 1 to 3 digits) 
+.IP \euNNNN 
+Unicode 16-bit code
+.IP \eUNNNNNNNN
+Unicode 32-bit code
+.PP
+Unicode is printed according to the LC_CTYPE environment variable, and
+requires \fBiconv\fR.
+\fBprintf\fR It has an additional escape, `\ec', which causes
+it to produce no further output, and an additional directive, `%b',
+which prints its argument string with `\e' escapes interpreted the way
+they are in the
+.I format
+string.
+.SH OPTIONS
+When GNU
+.B printf
+is invoked with exactly one argument, the following options are recognized:
+.TP
+.B "\-\-help"
+Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.
+.TP
+.B "\-\-version"
+Print version information on standard output then exit successfully.
+.SH NOTES
+Report bugs to bug-sh-utils@gnu.org.
