Disassembling printf doesn't give much info:

(gdb) disas printf
Dump of assembler code for function printf:
0x00401b38 <printf+0>:  jmp    *0x405130
0x00401b3e <printf+6>:  nop
0x00401b3f <printf+7>:  nop
End of assembler dump.

How is it implemented under the hood?

Why disassembling doesn't help?

What does * mean before 0x405130?
