fprint, format, arg1 [, arg2 …] [,
/element]
Print arguments under guidance of format string format
. If
there are more arguments than entries in the format string, then the
last format entry in format
is repeated as necessary to
service all remaining arguments. Arguments arg1
,
arg2
are cast to the type appropriate for the corresponding
format entry. One format entry is used per argument, unless
/element
is specified, in which case one format entry per output
number is used. This is only of interest when treating arrays.
