vfwprintf(3S)                     SDK R4.11                    vfwprintf(3S)


NAME
       vfwprintf, vwprintf, vswprintf - print formatted wide character
       output of a variable argument list

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdarg.h>
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <wchar.h>
       int vfwprintf(FILE *stream, const wchar_t *format, va_list arg);
       int vwprintf(const wchar_t *format, va_list arg);
       int vswprintf(wchar_t s, size_t n, const wchar_t *format,va_list arg);

DESCRIPTION
       vfwprintf is equivalent to fwprintf, with the variable argument list
       replaced by an arg that has been initialized by the va_start macro.

       vwprintf is equivalent to wprintf, with the variable argument list
       replaced by an arg that has been initialized by the va_start macro.

       vswprintf is equivalent to swprintf, with the variable argument list
       replaced by an arg that has been initialized by the va_start macro.
       If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is
       undefined.

       None of these functions invoke va_end or the passed arg.

   Errors
       vfwprintf and vwprintf return the number of wide characters
       transmitted or return a negative value if an error was encountered.
       vswprintf returns the number of wide characters written in the array,
       not counting the terminating null wide character, or returns a
       negative value if n or more wide character are requested to be
       generated.

USAGE
       The following example shows the use of the vfwprintf function in a
       general error reporting routine:

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

              void error(wchar_t *function_name, wchar_t *format,...)
              {
                va_list args;
                va_start(args, format);
                fwprintf(stderr, L"ERROR in %s: ", function_name);
                vfwprintf(stderr, format, args);
                va_end(args);
              }
