Z:gnu-bash--fcbb9a-Formats and prints ARGUMENTS u/en

Formats and prints ARGUMENTS under control of the FORMAT. Options: -v var	assign the output to shell variable VAR rather than display it on the standard output FORMAT is a character string which contains three types of objects: plain characters, which are simply copied to standard output; character escape sequences, which are converted and copied to the standard output; and format specifications, each of which causes printing of the next successive argument. In addition to the standard format specifications described in printf(1), printf interprets: %b	expand backslash escape sequences in the corresponding argument %q	quote the argument in a way that can be reused as shell input %(fmt)T output the date-time string resulting from using FMT as a format string for strftime(3) The format is re-used as necessary to consume all of the arguments. If   there are fewer arguments than the format requires,  extra format specifications behave as if a zero value or null string, as appropriate, had been supplied. Exit Status: Returns success unless an invalid option is given or a write or assignment error occurs.
