# Uses sprintf with named references.
#
# The first parameter is format string describing how the rest of the parameters in the hash
# should be formatted. See the documentation for the `Kernel::sprintf` function in Ruby for
# all the details.
#
# In the given argument hash with parameters, all keys are converted to symbols so they work
# with the `sprintf` function.
#
# @example Format a string and number
#   $output = sprintf_hash('String: %<foo>s / number converted to binary: %<number>b',
#                          { 'foo' => 'a string', 'number' => 5 })
#   # $output = 'String: a string / number converted to binary: 101'
#
Puppet::Functions.create_function(:sprintf_hash) do
  # @param format The format to use.
  # @param arguments Hash with parameters.
  # @return The formatted string.

    param 'String', :format
