da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chinThese routines return a pointer to a formatted string for various numeric
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chinand string entities.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chinSome routines may cache information to speed up the next call.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chinMost of the routines return a pointer to a private buffer, the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chincontents of which are overwritten on the next call to that routine.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chinroutines have a corresponding
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chinroutine that converts in the other direction.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chinThere is nothing spectacular about this collection other than that
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chinit provides a single place where the exact format is spelled out.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chinformats a base

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chinthen the base prefix is included in the formatted string.
