Here is an example illustrating the use of mu_format and
mu_format_string:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <mu/format.h>
int main(void) {
char *str;
unsigned short cursor = 0;
/* Format a message to standard output. */
puts("===== mu_format =====");
mu_format(stdout, &cursor, 40, 50, 4, 2, "\
This is some text. The first line will be indented 4 \
characters, while following lines will be indented 2. Lines \
will be wrapped at 40 characters, except \
reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally \
long words, which will be wrapped at 50 characters. A line \
break will appear here:\nno matter what.\n");
/* Write a similarly formatted message to a string. */
str = mu_format_string(&cursor, 40, 50, 4, 2,
"This text is similarly formatted "
"to the text above.\n");
/* Print the string to standard output. */
puts("===== mu_format_string =====");
fputs(str, stdout);
/* We must free the string since `mu_format_string' dynamically
allocates it. */
free(str);
return 0;
}
And here is the output:
$ ./format -| ===== mu_format ===== -| This is some text. The first line -| will be indented 4 characters, while -| following lines will be indented 2. -| Lines will be wrapped at 40 -| characters, except -| reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa- -| aaaaaaaaaally long words, which will -| be wrapped at 50 characters. A line -| break will appear here: -| no matter what. -| ===== mu_format_string ===== -| This text is similarly formatted to -| the text above.
