The f_printf function writes formatted string to the file.
int f_printf ( FIL* fp, /* [IN] File object */ const TCHAR* fmt, /* [IN] Format stirng */ ... );
When the function succeeded, it returns number of characters written. When the function failed due to disk full or any error, an EOF (-1) will be returned.
The f_printf() is a wrapper function of f_write(). The format control directive is a sub-set of standard library shown as follos:
Available when _FS_READONLY == 0 and _USE_STRFUNC is 1 or 2. When it is set to 2, '\n's contained in the output are converted to '\r'+'\n'.
When FatFs is configured to Unicode API (_LFN_UNICODE == 1), data types on the srting fuctions, f_putc(), f_puts(), f_printf() and f_gets(), is also switched to Unicode. The character encoding on the file to be read/written via those functions is selected by _STRF_ENCODE option.
