• diffhistPrintf21:18+34Stevebroshartalkcontribs(Functions accept arguments; they _have_ parameters; I think arguments is a better term; parameter is OK, but can't use with accepts)
• diffhistPrintf21:15−348Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→Type field: Remove off-topic info; stick to the point)
• diffhistmComputer program20:19−345Timhowardrileytalkcontribs(Shortened British spelling note)

• diffhistPrintf15:49−15Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→Programming languages with printf: consistency)
• diffhistPrintf15:45+89Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→Programming languages with printf: often printf is in a library; not the language ... as it is in C!)
• diffhistmPrintf15:37+3Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→Family)
• diffhistPrintf15:36+65Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→Family: add vprintf (since seems the most relevant) and remove some to avoid death by example syndrome)
• diffhistPrintf15:32+150Stevebroshartalkcontribs(Center colums (to look pretty); use text instead of char for consistency)
• diffhistPrintf15:26−5Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→Parameter field: it's more than one char)
• diffhistPrintf15:25−6Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→Length field: same as last)
• diffhistPrintf15:24−5Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→Length field: Since some are multiple chars; it's clearly not a char)
• diffhistPrintf15:23−292Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→Flags field: {{samp}} is not sufficient when whitespace is important; {{code}} would be ok; went with with quotes; no need to name the chars)
• diffhistPrintf15:14+17Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→Parameter field: keep related info together and seems to need a citation)
• diffhistPrintf15:12−1Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→Parameter field: output does not include ".")
• diffhistPrintf15:10−25Stevebroshartalkcontribs(yes, {{samp}} is for output from a program, but... the resulting format is not clear; the format is not different enough to distinguish clearly)
• diffhistPrintf15:06−104Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→2020s: C++20 Format Specifiers and C++23 print: C++ already had a replacement for printf ;))
• diffhistPrintf14:39+5Stevebroshartalkcontribs(It's an example 'call'; not an example of printf)
• diffhistPrintf14:10+19Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→1990s: Shell command: 'attested' makes no sense)
• diffhistPrintf13:51−102Stevebroshartalkcontribs(Remove linking that excessive; already covered)
• diffhistPrintf13:14−4Stevebroshartalkcontribs(Remove link to that refers to off-topic 'writing system')
• diffhistPrintf13:12+130Stevebroshartalkcontribs(describe what print means)
• diffhistPrintf13:10+85Stevebroshartalkcontribs(Collect sentences into coherent paragraphs; organize info starting with printf (the topic of the article) and then move further away from that)

• diffhistUnix21:49−91Guy Harristalkcontribs(That's an external link, not a Wikipedia article, so it belongs in the "External links" section - and it's an updated link for an entry that's already there, so replace that entry.)

• diffhistCommand-line interface15:36−12Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→Command-line interpreter: Too confusing to use CLI to mean something different (already mapped to command-line interface ... the article name); also although technically correct I do'nt think it's common to use CLI to mean command line interpreter)
• diffhistCommand-line interface15:27−10Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→Anatomy of a shell CLI: This is clearly about the command-line; not command-line interface in general)
• diffhistCommand-line interface15:24+95Stevebroshartalkcontribs(→Anatomy of a shell CLI: the prompt is more about read-for-input than context)
• diffhistmFreeBSD15:10−1Comp.archtalkcontribsTag: 2017 wikitext editor
• diffhistFreeBSD15:08+5Comp.archtalkcontribs(Not even 386BSD was first (Net/2 older; only on cheap hardware, and NetBSD older than FreeBSD so maybe just drop from the lead?): "the first fully operational Unix built to run on IBM PC-compatible systems based on the Intel 80386 ("i386") microprocessor, and the first Unix-like system on affordable home-class hardware to be freely distributed. .. BSD's Net/2, distributed in 1991")Tag: 2017 wikitext editor
• diffhistCommand-line interface14:41−278Stevebroshartalkcontribs(Remove low-value and confusing words)
• diffhistCommand-line interface14:24+44Stevebroshartalkcontribs(Elaborate to explain the contrast that was implicit)
• diffhistCommand-line interface14:11−1Stevebroshartalkcontribs('program' is overly specific; 'inputting' is overly specific; 'text called command lines' is awkward)
• diffhistCommand-line interface14:07+30Stevebroshartalkcontribs("Computer interface that uses text" is not wrong, but far from precise)
• diffhistShell (computing)11:51+26Stevebroshartalkcontribs(add links)
• diffhistShell (computing)11:49−7Stevebroshartalkcontribs(Shells are not GUI ... but leaving that in here since much of the articles seems to say it can be)
• diffhistShell (computing)11:36+33Stevebroshartalkcontribs(A shell does not attempt to expose _all_ os services; but it does provide interface with many OS features and via a relatively thin layer)
• diffhistShell (computing)11:32−34Stevebroshartalkcontribs(If it exposes it to "a human user or other programs" then it simply exposes it (to everything))
