From 64b1cb74f8312c0a43ce32f51097172efc69355a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Nieder Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2009 09:05:02 -0600 Subject: Introduce usagef() that takes a printf-style format Some new callers would want to use printf-like formatting, when issuing their usage messages. An option is to change usage() itself also be like printf(), which would make it similar to die() and warn(). But usage() is typically fixed, as opposed to die() and warn() that gives diagnostics depending on the situation. Indeed, the majority of strings given by existing callsites to usage() are fixed strings. If we were to make usage() take printf-style format, they all need to be changed to have "%s" as their first argument. So instead, introduce usagef() so that limited number of callers can use it.
