Doublequote is not listed among the special characters for printf()
because it isn't one. It is a special character to C; if you want a "
in a string constant, you have to backslash it. The following code
will print a " without the use of a blackslash:
{
char buf[2];
buf[0] = 34; /* " is ascii 34 */
buf[1] = 0;
printf(buf);
}
