Try something like:
Obviously, you should be checking the return codes from sprintf() and system() for errors. And, unless you're using sprintf() to produce strings where you know that the output will never be longer than your buffer, you should use snprintf() instead. But, for demonstration purposes, I hope this helps.

Hi ,
I am having one situation in which I need to run some simple unix commands after doing "chroot" command in a shell script. Which in turn creates a new shell.

Is it ok to use exit() inside a signal handler?
I catch SIGUSR1 in a signal handler and I try to close a file and then exit. The result is inconsistent. Sometimes the process exit and sometimes it returns to the original state before the signal handler was invoked.
Perhaps exit is not legal in... (8 Replies)

When my script deals with large input files like 22Gb or 18 GB the basic commands like sort or join fails when run from inside the shell scripts. Can there be any specific reason for this?
For e.g.
sort -u -t "," -k1,1 a.csv > a.csv.uniq"
sort -u -t "," -k1,1 b.csv > b.csv.uniq"

I have a program dnapars
I execute the program from command line as following:

Hi,
I have coded a program in Haskell using the compiler Hugs and the program requires multiple commands (with parameters) to be entered into it, it then outputs the result of its execution. I need to test a lot of different options (i.e. the parameters) so it would be obvious to automate the... (0 Replies)

curl_mvaprintf
curl_printf(3) libcurl Manual curl_printf(3)NAME
curl_maprintf, curl_mfprintf, curl_mprintf, curl_msnprintf, curl_msprintf curl_mvaprintf, curl_mvfprintf, curl_mvprintf, curl_mvsnprintf,
curl_mvsprintf - formatted output conversion
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/mprintf.h>
int curl_mprintf(const char *format, ...);
int curl_mfprintf(FILE *fd, const char *format, ...);
int curl_msprintf(char *buffer, const char *format, ...);
int curl_msnprintf(char *buffer, size_t maxlength, const char *format, ...);
int curl_mvprintf(const char *format, va_list args);
int curl_mvfprintf(FILE *fd, const char *format, va_list args);
int curl_mvsprintf(char *buffer, const char *format, va_list args);
int curl_mvsnprintf(char *buffer, size_t maxlength, const char *format, va_list args);
char *curl_maprintf(const char *format, ...);
char *curl_mvaprintf(const char *format, va_list args);
DESCRIPTION
These are all functions that produce output according to a format string and given arguments. These are mostly clones of the well-known C-
style functions and there will be no detailed explanation of all available formatting rules and usage here.
See this table for notable exceptions.
curl_mprintf()
Normal printf() clone.
curl_mfprintf()
Normal fprintf() clone.
curl_msprintf()
Normal sprintf() clone.
curl_msnprintf()
snprintf() clone. Many systems don't have this. It is just like sprintf but with an extra argument after the buffer that
specifies the length of the target buffer.
curl_mvprintf()
Normal vprintf() clone.
curl_mvfprintf()
Normal vfprintf() clone.
curl_mvsprintf()
Normal vsprintf() clone.
curl_mvsnprintf()
vsnprintf() clone. Many systems don't have this. It is just like vsprintf but with an extra argument after the buffer that
specifies the length of the target buffer.
curl_maprintf()
Like printf() but returns the output string as a malloc()ed string. The returned string must be free()ed by the receiver.
curl_mvaprintf()
Like curl_maprintf() but takes a va_list pointer argument instead of a variable amount of arguments.
To easily use all these cloned functions instead of the normal ones, #define _MPRINTF_REPLACE before you include the <curl/mprintf.h> file.
Then all the normal names like printf, fprintf, sprintf etc will use the curl-functions instead.
AVAILABILITY
These function will be removed from the public libcurl API in a near future. They will instead be made "available" by source code access
only, and then as curlx_-prefixed functions. See lib/README.curlx for further details.
RETURN VALUE
The curl_maprintf and curl_mvaprintf functions return a pointer to a newly allocated string, or NULL if it failed.
All other functions return the number of characters they actually outputted.
