An implementation of the Erlang/OTP io_lib interface.

Description

This module implements a strict subset of the Erlang/OTP io_lib interface.

Data Types

chars()


chars() = [char() | chars()]

Function Index

format/2	Format string and data to a string.
fwrite/2	Format string and data to a string.
latin1_char_list/1	Determine if passed term is a list of ISO-8859-1 characters (0-255).
printable_list/1	Determine if `List` is a flat list of printable characters.
write/1	Returns a character list that represents Term.
write_atom/1
write_string/1	Returns the list of characters needed to print String as a string.

Function Details

format/2


format(Format::io:format(), Args::list()) -> string()

Format: format string
Args: format argument

returns: string

Format string and data to a string. Features most of OTP io_lib:format/2. Raises badarg error if the number of format specifiers does not match the length of the Args.

fwrite/2

fwrite(Format, Args) -> any()

Equivalent to format(Format, Args).

Format string and data to a string. Features most of OTP io_lib:format/2. Raises badarg error if the number of format specifiers does not match the length of the Args.

latin1_char_list/1


latin1_char_list(Term::any()) -> boolean()

Term: term to test

returns: true if Term is a list of latin1 characters, false otherwise.

Determine if passed term is a list of ISO-8859-1 characters (0-255).

printable_list/1


printable_list(List::any()) -> boolean()

List: term to test

Determine if List is a flat list of printable characters

write/1


write(Term::any()) -> chars()

Term: term to represent

Equivalent to forma("~w", [Term]).

Returns a character list that represents Term

write_atom/1


write_atom(Atom::atom()) -> chars()

write_string/1


write_string(String::string()) -> chars()

String: string to print

Equivalent to write_string(String, $").

Returns the list of characters needed to print String as a string.
