To do so, modify the %s or %p field with an uppercase &quot;F&quot; character. For example, if an application contains the following declaration: char far *ptr; an application compiled in the small or medium memory model can display the value of the pointer with the following function call: printf(&quot;%Fp&quot;, ptr); If ptr points to a data string, the following function call displays the value of the string: printf(&quot;%Fs&quot;, ptr); For additional information about using the F specifier with the printf functions, refer to the C run-time library reference manual or to the online help file distributed with your language compiler.
