What is zprintf() ?

[Chris]

Hi,

I found this in a source I want to use and bcc55 accepts it without error.
I can't find anything about it in the docs.

zprintf(2, "INSERTING BITS: %d\n", v_bits);

The first parm (2) is in some other line 1.
It outputs to the console like a normal printf().

Can someone explain what it does and why it's not in the docs?

Thanks,
Chris.

I have looked through both the libraries and the header files of bcc55 and
cannot find a zprintf.

--------------------------------
C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin

type try.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int v_bits = 6;
zprintf(2, "INSERTING BITS: %d\n", v_bits);
return 0;
}
C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin

bcc32 -c try.c

Hi Ed,

Sorry! I had to take a closer look. It's a created function.in the source
using printf().
It's because it looked so much like a one of the printf() variants.

The first parameter gives a "verbose" level to suppress display.
Will look better in the future before I post.

Thanks for your efforts,
Chris.
