ft_printf

📌 Project Description

The ft_printf project aims to replicate the behavior of the standard printf function from the C standard library. The project consists of creating a custom version, ft_printf, which handles formatted output.

The function prototype is:

int ft_printf(const char *, ...);

🚀 Compilation

To compile the project, run:

make

This will create the libftprintf.a library.

To clean object files:

make clean

To remove compiled files:

make fclean

To recompile from scratch:

make re

⚙️ Supported Format Specifiers

🔍 Features

• Mimics the behavior of the real printf.
• Handles variable argument lists using va_start, va_arg, va_copy, and va_end.
• Does not use buffer management.
