"string" -- the text string to be printed. Can be up to 8192 characters and must be in double quotes.
kval1, kval2, ... (optional) -- The k-rate values to be printed. These are specified in "string" with the standard C value specifier (%f, %d, etc.) in the order given. Use 0 for those which are not used.
prints is similar to the printks opcode except it operates at init-time instead of k-rate. For more information about output formatting, please look at printks's documentation.
Here is an example of the prints opcode. It uses the files prints.orc and prints.sco.
