PROLOG
       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.


NAME
       vdprintf, vfprintf, vprintf, vsnprintf, vsprintf — format output of a stdarg argument list


SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdarg.h>
       #include <stdio.h>

       int vdprintf(int fildes, const char *restrict format, va_list ap);
       int vfprintf(FILE *restrict stream, const char *restrict format,
           va_list ap);
       int vprintf(const char *restrict format, va_list ap);
       int vsnprintf(char *restrict s, size_t n, const char *restrict format,
           va_list ap);
       int vsprintf(char *restrict s, const char *restrict format, va_list ap);


DESCRIPTION
       The  functionality  described  on  this  reference  page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict
       between the requirements described  here  and  the  ISO C  standard  is  unintentional.  This  volume  of
       POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  vdprintf(), vfprintf(), vprintf(), vsnprintf(), and vsprintf() functions shall be equivalent to the
       dprintf(), fprintf(), printf(), snprintf(), and sprintf() functions respectively, except that instead  of
       being  called  with  a  variable number of arguments, they are called with an argument list as defined by
       <stdarg.h>.

       These functions shall not invoke the va_end macro. As these functions invoke the va_arg macro, the  value
       of ap after the return is unspecified.


RETURN VALUE
       Refer to fprintf().


ERRORS
       Refer to fprintf().

       The following sections are informative.


EXAMPLES
       None.


APPLICATION USAGE
       Applications using these functions should call va_end(ap) afterwards to clean up.


RATIONALE
       None.


FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
