[edk2] sprintf

[Foster, Matthew I]

Does anyone know a way to use sprintf in EDK, or a library I can include to do the equivalent?

I tried to use it and include stdio.h but when it goes to link the library it cannot find the symbol.

Thanks!

Well this is the edk2 mailing list, so I don’t remember EDK any more

If you are an App and you don’t mind all the extra overhead of the C Lib you can do this: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/AppPkg/Applications/Main/Main.inf <https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/AppPkg/Applications/Main/Main.inf>

All the drivers, and most of the edk2 code just uses: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Library/PrintLib.h <https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Library/PrintLib.h>

Thanks,

Thanks Andrew, I meant EDK2. I should have known to look at the PrintLib! Thanks!
