This is a partial implementation of the format/3 predicate as implemented in several Prolog systems. It simply maps the format string to ECLiPSe's printf/3 formats, and therefore supports only those formats which are compatible.

Modes and Determinism

Modules

This predicate is sensitive to its module context (tool predicate, see @/2).
