NAME
       vsprintf - Format a string and place it in a buffer

SYNOPSIS
       int vsprintf(char * buf, const char * fmt, va_list args);

ARGUMENTS
       buf
	   The buffer to place the result into

       fmt
	   The format string to use

       args
	   Arguments for the format string

DESCRIPTION
       The function returns the number of characters written into buf. Use vsnprintf or vscnprintf in order to avoid buffer overflows.

       Call this function if you are already dealing with a va_list. You probably want sprintf instead.

       See the vsnprintf documentation for format string extensions over C99.
