NAME

       va_arg, va_copy, va_end, va_start - handle variable argument list

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdarg.h>

	type va_arg(va_list ap, type);
       void va_copy(va_list dest, va_list src);
       void va_end(va_list ap);
       void va_start(va_list ap, argN);

DESCRIPTION

       Refer to the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, <stdarg.h>.

NAME

       vfprintf, vprintf, vsnprintf, vsprintf - format output of a stdarg argument list

SYNOPSIS

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

       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);

DESCRIPTION

       The  vprintf(),	vfprintf(),  vsnprintf(),  and	vsprintf() functions shall be equivalent to printf(), fprintf(), snprintf(), and sprintf()
       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 unspeci-
       fied.

RETURN VALUE

       Refer to fprintf() .

ERRORS

       Refer to fprintf() .

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       Applications using these functions should call va_end(ap) afterwards to clean up.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
