NAME

       vfprintf, vprintf, vsnprintf, vsprintf - format output of a stdarg argument list

SYNOPSIS

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

       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  vprintf(),  vfprintf(),  vsnprintf(),  and  vsprintf()  functions  shall  be equivalent to printf(),
       fprintf(), snprintf(), and sprintf() 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.
