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

int vscnprintf(char * buf, size_t size, const char * fmt, va_list args);
ARGUMENTS
buf
The buffer to place the result into

DESCRIPTION
The return value is the number of characters which have been written into the buf not including the trailing ' '. If size is <= 0 the
function returns 0.
Call this function if you are already dealing with a va_list. You probably want scnprintf instead.
