info iostream, menu nodes:

	Streams->Ostream->Writing

where we find the prototype of:

	ostream::form(const char *FORMAT, ...)

also:

	Streams->Iostreams->Ios->Format Control

and 'Manipulators', which contains some examples. Your code would be:

	cout << "Yada: 0x" << setw(2) << hex << buf[i] << nl;

and f_unit8 could be:

	#define f_uint8 	setw(2) << hex

so you could:

	cout  << "Yada: 0x" << f_uint8 << buf[i] << nl;

PS: You should take a moment (or a day) and index your system. This info
and much more is on your machine.
