+@item @code{printf} (0x34) @var{numargs} @var{string} @result{}
+Do a formatted print, in the style of the C function @code{printf}).
+The value of @var{numargs} is the number of arguments to expect on the
+stack, while @var{string} is the format string, prefixed with a
+two-byte length. The last byte of the string must be zero, and is
+included in the length. The format string includes escaped sequences
+just as it appears in C source, so for instance the format string
+@code{"\t%d\n"} is six characters long, and the output will consist of
+a tab character, a decimal number, and a newline. At the top of the
+stack, above the values to be printed, this bytecode will pop a
+``function'' and ``channel''. If the function is nonzero, then the
+target may treat it as a function and call it, passing the channel as
+a first argument, as with the C function @code{fprintf}. If the
+function is zero, then the target may simply call a standard formatted
+print function of its choice. In all, this bytecode pops 2 +
+@var{numargs} stack elements, and pushes nothing.
