+=== Printf Operands
+
+For the *printf* instruction in the *OpenCL.std*
+<<opencl-extended-instruction-set, extended instruction set for OpenCL>>, the
+format specifiers in the _format_ operand determine how to print the
+additional argument operands.
+
+Behavior is undefined unless the source operand type for an additional argument
+matches the supported operand types for the format specifier in the following
+table.
