        Calling Sequence

        #include <stdio.h>
        #include <varargs.h>
        FILE *stream;
        valist ap;
        char *format;
        int n, vfprintf();
        vastart(ap);
        n = vfprintf(stream, format, ap);
        vaend(ap);


        Description

        The vfprintf function allows you to print a variable argument
        list to a given file.  It is similar to fprintf, except that
        instead of passing the arguments after the format string directly
        to the function, you pass the argument pointer that is set up
        with va_start (see "The varargs.h Include File" in Chapter 1).

        See the "Input/Output Functions and Macros" section of Chapter 1
        for buffering information on I/O functions and macros.


        Returns

        The vfprintf function returns a negative value on error.
