printf用法 20140809

$ printf "a string,no processing: <%s> \n" "A\nB"

a string,no processing: <A\nB>    默认情况下转义序列不会被解释

当使用 %b 格式指示符时 printf 会解释参数字符串的转义序列

 printf "a string,no processing: <%b> \n" "A\nB"

a string,no processing: <A
B> 

 printf "|%10s|\n" hello
|     hello|

|表示字符串实际宽度向右对其 不足十个字符则左端自动补领

printf "|%-10s|\n" hello
|hello     |

左对齐 注意是键盘上减号那个建表示非

printf "|%${width}.${prec}G|\n" $myvar
|3.14159|

等同于printf "|%*.*G|\n" 5 6 $myvar
|3.14159|

echo "\$x is \"$x\". here is some outpu: '$(echo hello world)'"
$x is " i am x". here is some outpu: 'hello world'

$ \ 若用到字面上的意思则前面要加\
