Format Directives
-----------------

   `-printf' and `-fprintf' support the following format directives to
print information about the file being processed.  Unlike the C
`printf' function, they do not support field width specifiers.

   `%%' is a literal percent sign.  A `%' character followed by any
other character is discarded (but the other character is printed), and
a warning message is printed to the standard error output (because it
was probably a typo).
