Function streamStateFromFormat

src/tinyformat.h:664–868

Parse a format string and set the stream state accordingly. The format mini-language recognized here is meant to be the one from C99, with the form "%[flags][width][.precision][length]type" with POSIX positional arguments extension. POSIX positional arguments extension: Conversions can be applied to the nth argument after the format in the argument list, rather than to the next unused argument.

// necessary to pull out variable width and precision.  The function returns a
// pointer to the character after the end of the current format spec.
