 * @brief Small stand-alone implementation of the printf family of functions
 * (`(v)printf`, `(v)s(n)printf` etc., geared towards use on embedded systems with
 * a very limited resources.
 *
 * @note the implementations are thread-safe; re-entrant; use no functions from
 * the standard library; and do not dynamically allocate any memory.
