/*@C
  PetscPrintf - Prints to standard out, only from the first
  MPI process in the communicator. Calls from other processes are ignored.

  Not Collective

  Input Parameters:
+ comm   - the communicator
- format - the usual `printf()` format string

  Level: intermediate

  Note:
  Deprecated information: `PetscPrintf()` supports some format specifiers that are unique to PETSc.
  See the manual page for `PetscFormatConvert()` for details.

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