+This section describes a number of utility functions for creating,
+duplicating, and manipulating strings.

+Note that the functions <a class="link" href="glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-printf" title="g_printf ()"><code class="function">g_printf()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-fprintf" title="g_fprintf ()"><code class="function">g_fprintf()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-sprintf" title="g_sprintf ()"><code class="function">g_sprintf()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-snprintf" title="g_snprintf ()"><code class="function">g_snprintf()</code></a>,
+<a class="link" href="glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-vprintf" title="g_vprintf ()"><code class="function">g_vprintf()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-vfprintf" title="g_vfprintf ()"><code class="function">g_vfprintf()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-vsprintf" title="g_vsprintf ()"><code class="function">g_vsprintf()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-vsnprintf" title="g_vsnprintf ()"><code class="function">g_vsnprintf()</code></a> are declared in
+the header <code class="filename">gprintf.h</code> which is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span>
+included in <code class="filename">glib.h</code> (otherwise using
+<code class="filename">glib.h</code> would drag in <code class="filename">stdio.h</code>), so
+you'll have to explicitly include <code class="literal">&lt;glib/gprintf.h&gt;</code>
+in order to use the GLib <code class="function">printf()</code> functions.
+</p>
+<p><a name="string-precision"></a>
+While you may use the <code class="function">printf()</code> functions to format UTF-8 strings, notice that
+the precision of a <code class="literal">%Ns</code> parameter is interpreted as the
+number of <span class="emphasis"><em>bytes</em></span>, not <span class="emphasis"><em>characters</em></span> to print.
+On top of that, the GNU libc implementation of the <code class="function">printf()</code> functions has the "feature"
+that it checks that the string given for the <code class="literal">%Ns</code> parameter
+consists of a whole number of characters in the current encoding. So, unless you
+are sure you are always going to be in an UTF-8 locale or your know your text is restricted
+to ASCII, avoid using <code class="literal">%Ns</code>.
+If your intention is to format strings for a certain number of columns, then
+<code class="literal">%Ns</code> is not a correct solution anyway, since it fails to take
+wide characters (see <a class="link" href="glib-Unicode-Manipulation.html#g-unichar-iswide" title="g_unichar_iswide ()"><code class="function">g_unichar_iswide()</code></a>) into account.

The problem with <a class="link" href="glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-strncasecmp" title="g_strncasecmp ()"><code class="function">g_strncasecmp()</code></a> is that it does the

+broken if your string is guaranteed to be ASCII, since it's
