format

Uses this string as a JVM-style format string and substitutes args.

The implementation lives entirely in common code. It supports general (b, h, s), character (c), integral (d, o, x), floating-point (e, f, g, a), percent (%), and newline (n) conversions, including their upper-case variants, argument indexes, relative argument reuse, flags, width, and precision.

Formatting uses ROOT-like, locale-independent punctuation and case rules. Unicode casing follows the data available on the target runtime. %n always emits LF. Java-only values and date/time conversions are unsupported. When a target erases runtime numeric identities, ambiguous numbers use conversion-directed Int-or-Double semantics. %s and %h delegate to the target value's Kotlin toString and hashCode, respectively.

Throws

Formats format with args using KiteCore's portable JVM-style formatter.

This companion extension provides the familiar String.format(...) call shape in common Kotlin. See String.format for the supported conversions and portability contract.
