NAME¶
vscnprintf - Format a string and place it in a buffer
SYNOPSIS¶
int vscnprintf(char * buf, size_t size, const char * fmt, va_list args);
ARGUMENTS¶
buf
The buffer to place the result into
size
The size of the buffer, including the trailing null
space
fmt
The format string to use
args
Arguments for the format string
DESCRIPTION¶
The return value is the number of characters which have been written into the buf not including the trailing ´\0´. If size is == 0 the function returns 0.
Call this function if you are already dealing with a va_list. You probably want scnprintf instead.
See the vsnprintf documentation for format string extensions over C99.
