        Calling Sequence

        #include <stdio.h>
        #include <varargs.h>
        valist ap;
        char *format, buffer[];
        int n, vsprintf();
        vastart(ap);
        n = vsprintf(buffer, format, ap);
        vaend(ap);


        Description

        The vsprintf function allows you to print a variable argument
        list to a memory array.  This function is similar to sprintf,
        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).


        Returns

        The vsprintf function returns a negative value on error.
