f5e55fd604 Support the L modifier for floating-point values as an extension.
When L is omitted, double precision is used, so printf(1) gives
reproducable results.  When L is specified, long double precision is
used, which may improve precision, depending on the machine.

d1fecdf4b5 - printf shouldn't bail out if a conversion fails, it should just keep
processing them.
 - \c escape to immediately stop output (similar to echo's \c)
 - \0NNN should be allowed for octal character escapes (instead of just \NNN)
 - %b conversion, which is like %s but interprets \n \t etc. inside the
   string is missing.

And I may not be any poet, but in lieu of an in-tree regression test:
ref5% ./printf '%s%b%b%c%s%d\n' 'PR' '\0072' '\t' '3' '56' 0x10

96265e088e Remove the printf builtin command from sh(1), which command is not
used so often that it's worth keeping it as a builtin.

Now that all the printf invocations from within the system startup
scripts, we can safely remove it.

Urged by:	sheldonh  :)

No MFC is planned so far because it may break compatibility and
violate POLA.

d003c4a860 Correct some hard sentence breaks. Only those surrounding the previous
commit and those which cause ugly nroff output have been fixed, since
the purpose of the style guideline which they contravene is to reduce
the sizes of deltas.

4000b20086 Improve shell documentation:
* Consistently misspell built-in as builtin.

* Add a builtin(1) manpage and create builtin(1) MLINKS for all shell
  builtin commands for which no standalone utility exists.  These MLINKS
  replace those that were created for csh(1).

* Add appropriate xrefs for builtin(1) to the csh(1) and sh(1) manpages,
  as well as to the manpages of standalone utilities which are supported
  as shell builtin commands in at least one of the shells. In such
  manpages, explain that similar functionality may be provided as a
  shell builtin command.

* Improve sh(1)'s description of the cd builtin command. Csh(1) already
  describes it adequately. Replace the cd(1) manpage with a builtin(1)
  MLINKS link.

* Clean up some mdoc problems: use Xr instead of literal "foo(n)"; use
  Ic instead of Xr for shell builtin commands.

* Undo English contractions.

6578739ddb Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

     .\"    $Id$
     .\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.
