+/** @page pg_rt_str_format The IPRT Format Strings
+ *
+ * IPRT implements most of the commonly used format types and flags with the
+ * exception of floating point which is completely missing. In addition IPRT
+ * provides a number of IPRT specific format types for the IPRT typedefs and
+ * other useful things. Note that several of these extensions are similar to
+ * \%p and doesn't care much if you try add formating flags/width/precision.
+ *
+ *
+ * Group 0a, The commonly used format types:
+ * - \%s - Takes a pointer to a zero terminated string (UTF-8) and
+ * prints it with the optionally adjustment (width, -) and
+ * length restriction (precision).
+ * - \%ls - Same as \%s except that the input is UTF-16 (output UTF-8).
+ * - \%Ls - Same as \%s except that the input is UCS-32 (output UTF-8).
+ * - \%S - Same as \%s, used to convert to current codeset but this is
+ * now done by the streams code. Deprecated, use \%s.
+ * - \%lS - Ditto. Deprecated, use \%ls.
+ * - \%LS - Ditto. Deprecated, use \%Ls.
+ * - \%c - Takes a char and prints it.
+ * - \%d - Takes a signed integer and prints it as decimal. Thousand
+ * separator (\'), zero padding (0), adjustment (-+), width,
+ * precision
+ * - \%i - Same as \%d.
+ * - \%u - Takes an unsigned integer and prints it as decimal. Thousand
+ * separator (\'), zero padding (0), adjustment (-+), width,
+ * precision
+ * - \%x - Takes an unsigned integer and prints it as lowercased
+ * hexadecimal. The special hash (\#) flag causes a '0x'
+ * prefixed to be printed. Zero padding (0), adjustment (-+),
+ * width, precision.
+ * - \%X - Same as \%x except that it is uppercased.
+ * - \%o - Takes an unsigned (?) integer and prints it as octal. Zero
+ * padding (0), adjustment (-+), width, precision.
+ * - \%p - Takes a pointer (void technically) and prints it. Zero
+ * padding (0), adjustment (-+), width, precision.
+ *
+ * The \%d, \%i, \%u, \%x, \%X and \%o format types support the following
+ * argument type specifiers:
+ * - \%ll - long long (uint64_t).
+ * - \%L - long long (uint64_t).
+ * - \%l - long (uint32_t, uint64_t)
+ * - \%h - short (int16_t).
+ * - \%hh - char (int8_t).
+ * - \%H - char (int8_t).
+ * - \%z - size_t.
+ * - \%j - intmax_t (int64_t).
+ * - \%t - ptrdiff_t.
+ * The type in parentheses is typical sizes, however when printing those types
+ * you are better off using the special group 2 format types below (\%RX32 and
+ * such).
+ *
+ *
+ * Group 0b, IPRT format tricks:
+ * - %M - Replaces the format string, takes a string pointer.
+ * - %N - Nested formatting, takes a pointer to a format string
+ * followed by the pointer to a va_list variable. The va_list
+ * variable will not be modified and the caller must do va_end()
+ * on it. Make sure the va_list variable is NOT in a parameter
+ * list or some gcc versions/targets may get it all wrong.
+ *
+ *
+ * Group 1, the basic runtime typedefs (excluding those which obviously are
+ * pointer):
+ * - \%RTbool - Takes a bool value and prints 'true', 'false', or '!%d!'.
+ * - \%RTfile - Takes a #RTFILE value.
+ * - \%RTfmode - Takes a #RTFMODE value.
+ * - \%RTfoff - Takes a #RTFOFF value.
+ * - \%RTfp16 - Takes a #RTFAR16 value.
+ * - \%RTfp32 - Takes a #RTFAR32 value.
+ * - \%RTfp64 - Takes a #RTFAR64 value.
+ * - \%RTgid - Takes a #RTGID value.
+ * - \%RTino - Takes a #RTINODE value.
+ * - \%RTint - Takes a #RTINT value.
+ * - \%RTiop - Takes a #RTIOPORT value.
+ * - \%RTldrm - Takes a #RTLDRMOD value.
+ * - \%RTmac - Takes a #PCRTMAC pointer.
+ * - \%RTnaddr - Takes a #PCRTNETADDR value.
+ * - \%RTnaipv4 - Takes a #RTNETADDRIPV4 value.
+ * - \%RTnaipv6 - Takes a #PCRTNETADDRIPV6 value.
+ * - \%RTnthrd - Takes a #RTNATIVETHREAD value.
+ * - \%RTnthrd - Takes a #RTNATIVETHREAD value.
+ * - \%RTproc - Takes a #RTPROCESS value.
+ * - \%RTptr - Takes a #RTINTPTR or #RTUINTPTR value (but not void *).
+ * - \%RTreg - Takes a #RTCCUINTREG value.
+ * - \%RTsel - Takes a #RTSEL value.
+ * - \%RTsem - Takes a #RTSEMEVENT, #RTSEMEVENTMULTI, #RTSEMMUTEX, #RTSEMFASTMUTEX, or #RTSEMRW value.
+ * - \%RTsock - Takes a #RTSOCKET value.
+ * - \%RTthrd - Takes a #RTTHREAD value.
+ * - \%RTuid - Takes a #RTUID value.

+ * - \%RGr - Takes a #RTGCUINTREG value.
+ * - \%RGu - Takes a #RTGCUINT value.
+ * - \%RGv - Takes a #RTGCPTR, #RTGCINTPTR or #RTGCUINTPTR value.
+ * - \%RGx - Takes a #RTGCUINT or #RTGCINT value, formatting it as hex.
+ * - \%RHi - Takes a #RTHCINT value.
+ * - \%RHp - Takes a #RTHCPHYS value.
+ * - \%RHr - Takes a #RTHCUINTREG value.
+ * - \%RHu - Takes a #RTHCUINT value.
+ * - \%RHv - Takes a #RTHCPTR, #RTHCINTPTR or #RTHCUINTPTR value.
+ * - \%RHx - Takes a #RTHCUINT or #RTHCINT value, formatting it as hex.
+ * - \%RRv - Takes a #RTRCPTR, #RTRCINTPTR or #RTRCUINTPTR value.
+ * - \%RCi - Takes a #RTINT value.
+ * - \%RCp - Takes a #RTCCPHYS value.
+ * - \%RCr - Takes a #RTCCUINTREG value.
+ * - \%RCu - Takes a #RTUINT value.
+ * - \%RCv - Takes a #uintptr_t, #intptr_t, void * value.
+ * - \%RCx - Takes a #RTUINT or #RTINT value, formatting it as hex.
+ *
+ *
+ * Group 2, the generic integer types which are prefered over relying on what
+ * bit-count a 'long', 'short', or 'long long' has on a platform. This are
+ * highly prefered for the [u]intXX_t kind of types:
+ * - \%RI[8|16|32|64] - Signed integer value of the specifed bit count.
+ * - \%RU[8|16|32|64] - Unsigned integer value of the specifed bit count.
+ * - \%RX[8|16|32|64] - Hexadecimal integer value of the specifed bit count.
+ *
+ *
+ * Group 3, hex dumpers and other complex stuff which requires more than simple
+ * formatting:
+ * - \%Rhxd - Takes a pointer to the memory which is to be dumped in typical
+ * hex format. Use the precision to specify the length, and the width to
+ * set the number of bytes per line. Default width and precision is 16.
+ * - \%Rhxs - Takes a pointer to the memory to be displayed as a hex string,
+ * i.e. a series of space separated bytes formatted as two digit hex value.
+ * Use the precision to specify the length. Default length is 16 bytes.
+ * The width, if specified, is ignored.
+ * - \%Rrc - Takes an integer iprt status code as argument. Will insert the
+ * status code define corresponding to the iprt status code.

+ * full description of the specified status code.
+ * - \%Rwa - Takes a long Windows error code as argument. Will insert the
+ * error code define + full description.
+ *
+ * - \%Rhrc - Takes a COM/XPCOM status code as argument. Will insert the status

+ * return code and parameter list.
+ * - \%Rbn - Prints the base name. For dropping the path in
+ * order to save space when printing a path name.
+ *
+ * On other platforms, \%Rw? simply prints the argument in a form of 0xXXXXXXXX.
+ *
+ *
+ * Group 4, structure dumpers:
+ * - \%RDtimespec - Takes a PCRTTIMESPEC.
+ *
+ *
+ * Group 5, XML / HTML escapers:
+ * - \%RMas - Takes a string pointer (const char *) and outputs
+ * it as an attribute value with the proper escaping.
+ * This typically ends up in double quotes.
+ *
+ * - \%RMes - Takes a string pointer (const char *) and outputs
+ * it as an element with the necessary escaping.
+ *
+ * Group 6, CPU Architecture Register dumpers:
+ * - \%RAx86[reg] - Takes a 64-bit register value if the register is
+ * 64-bit or smaller. Check the code wrt which
