vprintf

vprintf

int vprintf (const char formatString[], va_list argumentList);

Purpose

Writes output to standard output according to format specifiers in formatString. This function is similar to printf except that vprintf takes as a parameter an argument list initialized by the va_start macro.

Note Note   You cannot execute this function panel because of the nature of how variable argument lists are created.

Parameters

Input
Name Type Description
formatString const char [] Contains the format string that specifies how subsequent arguments are converted for output. Use standard ANSI C format specifiers. If insufficient arguments exist for the format, the behavior is undefined. If the format is exhausted while arguments remain, the excess arguments are evaluated but are otherwise ignored.
Note Note  For more information about the standard ANSI C format specifiers, refer to an external ANSI C reference.
argumentList va_list Contains a variable argument list initialized by the va_start macro and possibly subsequent va_arg calls.

Return Value

Name Type Description
CharactersWritten int Contains the number of characters transmitted or a negative value if an output error occurred. If an error occurs, vprintf sets errno to a nonzero value.
