The printf Command

Use the printf command to format and display a complex structure. The first argument is a string expression of characters and conversion specifications using the same format specifiers as the printf C function. The printf command requires a running target program because it uses libc.

printf_command

        : printf [ format_string [ , expression  ,... ] ]

For example:

(idb) printf "The PC is 0x%x", $pc

The PC is 0x80532f6
