    PetscFPrintf - Prints to a file, only from the first
    processor in the communicator.

    Not Collective; No Fortran Support

    Input Parameters:
+   comm - the MPI communicator
.   fd - the file pointer
-   format - the usual `printf()` format string

    Level: intermediate

    Developer Note:
    This maybe, and is, called from PETSc error handlers and `PetscMallocValidate()` hence it does not use `PetscCallMPI()` which
    could recursively restart the malloc validation.

    Note:
    Deprecated information: `PetscPrintf()` supports some format specifiers that are unique to PETSc.

    Fortran Note:
    The call sequence is `PetscPrintf`(MPI_Comm, character(*), `PetscErrorCode` ierr) from Fortran.
    That is, you can only pass a single character string from Fortran.
