To do so, modify the %s or %p field with an uppercase "F" 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("%Fp", ptr); If ptr points to a data string, the following function call displays the value of the string: printf("%Fs", 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.
