ironing out the bugs in my kernel--need make few functions-dont know how they work
 
ok i have my kernel booting loading and printing on screen
now i need to make fscanf, sscanf and sprintf
does anybody know how they work

They use varargs.

There's a pretty famous example. In fact, you might even be able to google the following phrase

Quote:
Wirzenius wrote this portably, Torvalds XXXXed it up
Note: XXXX is substituted for an expletive beginning with the letter f.

2nd link in google goes to vsprintf.c

LHOL
now i have another problem with the code
vsprintf.c needs strnlen but i dont even know what it does much less have it in the kernel

More programming by newsgroup?

Code:
$ man strnlen

it doesnt work
i worked it into the kernel and it just freezes at the sprintf call
then i tried it out of the kernel still didnt work quite right

here i will post my code:
Code:
#include <string.h>
#include <vsprintf.c>
extern void printf(char *, ...);
int main(){
char buffer[665];
sprintf(buffer, "hello world %d\n", 123);
printf("\n%s\n", buffer);
}

printf and all the things it calls directly or indirectly adds up to a lot of library routines.

From your other threads, I got the idea you were linking without standard libraries. Where are all those library functions coming from? If you let the (Turbo C) library functions into your link, it will be quite a bit of effort to catch and correct all the things that depend on DOS. If you don't, then the likely bugs are in the replacements you've coded for those library routines. Either way, posting your top level code is nearly useless.

Also, where did you get vsprintf.c? Is it a copy compatible with your 16 bit environment? Including a .c file in another .c file sometimes causes problems. I think you said you were using .cpp. Including a .c file in a .cpp is even more likely to cause problems.

i ended up writing my own
still need to figure out the *scanf() functions
