FORMAT_STRING(1)                                 FORMAT_STRING(1)

NAME
       format_string() - returns a formatted string like
       sprintf()

SYNOPSIS
       string format_string(string format, mixed *variables)

DESCRIPTION
       Boggle me why this exists.  It comes from the Portals
       Mudlib, so I must have brought it over when sockets first
       came out so the example code would not break.  Don't use
       it, it is slow and pointless.

SEE ALSO
       arrange_string(), center(), format_page(), printf(),
       sprintf(), wrap()
