NWsprintf(3nw)


NWsprintf -- reorders parameter variable list before vsprintf

Synopsis

   #include <time.h> or #define NWL_EXCLUDE_TIME 
   #include <stdio.h> or #define NWL_EXCLUDE_FILE 
   #include <nwlocale.h> 
   

int far cdecl NWsprintf (char NWFAR *buffer, char NWFAR *format, parameter_1, parameter_2);

Description

The parameters are as follows:

buffer
(OUT) Points to the buffer receiving the formatted data.

format
(IN) Points to the format string determining how the data will be formatted before sending it to the buffer.

parameter_1, parameter_2
(IN) Specifies the user-supplied variable list of parameters whose values are used in the formatted output.

Return values

Number of bytes output.

Notices

If NWsprintf's format string is prepended with a reordering vector, it reorders the variable list of parameters on the stack before C standard vsprintf is called. Otherwise, NWsprintf is the same as C standard sprintf.

For information about data formatting, see printf in any C manual.
