Pan: how translate %*.*s

[dooteo <dooteo euskalgnu org>]

Hi folks,


There is a rare (I think) string format in pan.po file. It saids:

    #: pan/base/decode.c:335
    #, c-format
    msgid "Decoded \"%s\" from group \"%*.*s\", \"%s\""


or in another message:


    #: pan/sockets.c:161
    #, c-format
    msgid "Connection to %*.*s, port %d failed: %s"


I found into tr.po file a translation using "%2$s".  What means exactly
'%*.*s' format? Is '%2$s' right?


Thanks and regards,

Dooteo
