vprintf#

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);

Status#

Partially implemented

Conformance#

IEEE Std 1003.1-2017

Description#

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#

Upon successful completion, functions shall return the number of bytes transmitted.

If an output error was encountered, these functions shall return a negative value and set errno to indicate the error.

Errors#

These functions shall fail if either the stream is unbuffered or the stream’s buffer needs to be flushed, and:

EAGAIN - The O_NONBLOCK flag is set for the file descriptor underlying stream and the thread would be delayed in the write operation.
EBADF - The file descriptor underlying stream is not a valid file descriptor open for writing.
EFBIG - An attempt was made to write to a file that exceeds the maximum file size.
EFBIG - An attempt was made to write to a file that exceeds the file size limit of the process.
EFBIG - The file is a regular file and an attempt was made to write at or beyond the offset maximum.
EINTR - The write operation was terminated due to the receipt of a signal, and no data was transferred.
EIO - A physical I/O error has occurred, or the process is a member of a background process group attempting to write to its controlling terminal, TOSTOP is set, the calling thread is not blocking SIGTTOU, the process is not ignoring SIGTTOU, and the process group of the process is orphaned. This error may also be returned under implementation-defined conditions.
ENOSPC - There was no free space remaining on the device containing the file.
EPIPE - An attempt is made to write to a pipe or FIFO that is not open for reading by any process. A SIGPIPE signal shall also be sent to the thread.
EILSEQ - A wide-character code that does not correspond to a valid character has been detected.
EOVERFLOW - The value to be returned is greater than INT_MAX.

These functions may fall if:

ENOMEM - Insufficient storage space is available.
ENXIO - A request was made of a nonexistent device, or the request was outside the capabilities of the device.
