Is there a printf converter to print in binary format?

Question

I can print with printf as a hex or octal number. Is there a format tag to print as binary, or arbitrary base?

I am running gcc.

printf(\"%d %x %o         


        

Answer 1

No standard and portable way.

Some implementations provide itoa(), but it's not going to be in most, and it has a somewhat crummy interface. But the code is behind the link and should let you implement your own formatter pretty easily.
