[PATCH v2 090/113] lib: vsprintf: align documentation with current feature set

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The documentation lists modifiers unsupported by barebox and lacks
modifiers that are actually supported. Align the documentation with the
currently supported feature set and reorder it to the same order used
inside the pointer() main switch statement.
