I have a memory for weirdness.  That's CCS.  The description is:

"...fname is a function name to be used for outputting
(default is putc is none is specified)."

Apparently (from an example in the back) it will call the
supplied function once for each character generated by
printf.  I guess it's a cheap alternative for not
having sprintf.
