+You can use the following functions to print formatted output:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    int T_printf(char const *, ...);
+
+    int T_vprintf(char const *, va_list);
+
+    int T_snprintf(char *, size_t, const char *, ...);
+
+In contrast to the corresponding standard C library functions, floating-point
+and exotic formats may be not supported.  On some architectures supported by
+RTEMS, floating-point operations are only supported in special tasks and may be
+forbidden in interrupt context.  These formatted output functions work in every
+context.
