System name:		entropy
Type and version:	RTPC-ROMPC 7.0F (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		apa16

What's wrong:

  The printf manpage still does not mention that _doprnt (printf,
fprintf, sprintf) returns an int containing the number of characters
actually output.


What should have happened:

  It should be documented.

  While we're at it, perhaps there should be a BUGS section mentioning
that it does no error trapping.


Please describe any relevant documentation references:

PRINTF(3S)
