I don't usually use printf and friends, but it appears the directives are
case-insensitive:
#;1> (sprintf "~a~%" "asdf")
"asdf\n"
#;2> (sprintf "~A~%" "asdf")
"asdf\n"
#;3> (sprintf "~S~%" "asdf")
"\"asdf\"\n"
#;4> (sprintf "~s~%" "asdf")
"\"asdf\"\n"
#;5> (sprintf "~b~%" 42)
"101010\n"
#;6> (spr
(printf "Hello, ~a.\n" "World") ;; => Hello, World
~a.\n
There is no lowercase `a' special formatting directive or a
`dot .' shown at
https://api.call-cc.org/5/doc/chicken/format/printf.
Is that a typo? s/b ~A ?? Is the . a typo as well?
The \n is explained though. TIA ...

printf comes from the (chicken format) module, which is not imported. Looks
like a mistake in the site.
