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.

AVAILABILITY
       These functions will be removed from the public libcurl API in the future. Do not use them in any new programs or projects.

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.
