No, I don't.  I want you to take the time to spell these things out.
That's your job as squeaky wheel.  I know how printf(3) works,
and can read its man page should I be so inclined, as can anyone.
As I said, your "I know something I won't tell" attitude, especially
about the documentation, is worse than useless.  It is destructive.
Please contribute.
