fprintf

Description

The fprintf procedure is similar to the print procedure, except that the created formatted character string is appended to a file, rather than being displayed at the user’s terminal.

See the discussion on printf for a more detailed discussion on how to create use format command characters within the format control string.

Not supported in Endpoint Privilege Management for Linux (EPM-L).

Syntax

fprintf (filename, controlstring [,expression1, …]);

Arguments

filename	Required. Character string that contains the name of a file. A fully qualified path name, starting with a forward slash character (/).
controlstring	Required. The character string, including format command characters, that is written to filename.
expression1...	Optional. Values to substitute into controlstring, based on the specified format command characters.

Return Values
