The new horizontal utility utilizes the * token for centering.
* Every field with the token %*s will autofill the remaining space.
* Field tokens may be any valid format specifier, plus the asterisk.
* > Example: printf "%*s %.*s %*d" "col1" "col2" "3.0" (notice asterisk)
* > Example: printf "%*b %s" "\e[1;33mThis is red text\e[0m" "this is not"
Use the new utilities to center the startup banner and other messages.
