// Implementation of cprintf console output for user environments,
// based on printfmt() and the sys_cputs() system call.
//
// cprintf is a debugging statement, not a generic output statement.
// It is very important that it always go to the console, especially when
// debugging file descriptor code!

// Collect up to 256 characters into a buffer
// and perform ONE system call to print all of them,
// in order to make the lines output to the console atomic
// and prevent interrupts from causing context switches
// in the middle of a console output line and such.
