<?php
/**
* Parse a sprintf()-style format string in an extensible way.
*
* This method allows you to build a function with sprintf() semantics but
* custom conversions for different datatypes. Three examples are
* @{function:jsprintf} (which builds Javascript strings),
* @{function:qsprintf} (which builds MySQL strings), and
* @{function:csprintf} (which builds command line strings).
*
* To build a new xsprintf-family function, provide a callback which conforms
* to the specification described in @{function:xsprintf_callback_example}. The
* callback will be invoked each time a conversion (like "%Z") is encountered
* in the string. For instance, if you call xsprintf() like this...
*
* $result = xsprintf(
* 'xsprintf_callback_example',
* $userdata = null,
* array(
* "The %M is made of %C.",
* 'moon',
* 'cheese',
* ));
*
* ...the callback will be invoked twice, at string positions 5 ("M") and 19
* ("C"), with values "moon" and "cheese" respectively.
*
* @param string The name of a callback to pass conversions to.
* @param wild Optional userdata to pass to the callback. For
* @{function:qsprintf}, this is the database connection.
* @param list List of arguments, with the sprintf() pattern in position 0.
* @return string Formatted string.
*

/**
* Example @{function:xsprintf} callback. When you call xsprintf(), you
* must pass a callback like this one. xsprintf() will invoke the callback when
* it encounters a conversion (like "%Z") in the pattern string.
*
* Generally, this callback should examine ##$pattern[$pos]## (which will
* contain the conversion character, like 'Z'), escape ##$value## appropriately,
* and then replace ##$pattern[$pos]## with an 's' so sprintf() prints the
* escaped value as a string. However, more sophisticated behaviors are possible
* -- particularly, consuming multiple characters to allow for conversions like
* "%Ld". In this case, the callback needs to substr_replace() the entire
* conversion with 's' and then update ##$length##.
*
* For example implementations, see @{function:xsprintf_command},
* @{function:xsprintf_javascript},
* and @{function:xsprintf_query}.
*
* @param wild Arbitrary, optional userdata. This is whatever userdata
* was passed to @{function:xsprintf}.
* @param string The pattern string being parsed.
* @param int The current character position in the string.
* @param wild The value to convert.
* @param int The string length.
