function

wprintf

int wprintf (const wchar_t* format, ...);

Print formatted data to stdout

Writes the C wide string pointed by format to the standard output (stdout), replacing any format specifier in the same way as printf does.

The external representation of wide characters in stdout are multibyte characters: These are obtained as if wcrtomb was called to convert each wide character (using the stream's internal mbstate_t object).

This is the wide character equivalent of printf (<cstdio>).

Parameters

format: C wide string that contains a format string that follows the same specifications as format in printf (see printf for details).
Notice that all format specifiers have the same meaning as in printf; therefore, %lc shall be used to write a wide character (and not %c), as well as %ls shall be used for wide strings (and not %s).
... (additional arguments): Depending on the format string, the function may expect a sequence of additional arguments, each containing a value to be used to replace a format specifier in the format string (or a pointer to a storage location, for n).
There should be at least as many of these arguments as the number of values specified in the format specifiers. Additional arguments are ignored by the function.

Return Value On success, the total number of characters written is returned.

If a writing error occurs, the error indicator (ferror) is set and a negative number is returned.

If a multibyte character encoding error occurs while writing wide characters, errno is set to EILSEQ and a negative number is returned.

Example

/* wprintf example */
#include <wchar.h>

int main()
{
   wprintf (L"Characters: %lc %lc \n", L'a', 65);
   wprintf (L"Decimals: %d %ld\n", 1977, 650000L);
   wprintf (L"Preceding with blanks: %10d \n", 1977);
   wprintf (L"Preceding with zeros: %010d \n", 1977);
   wprintf (L"Some different radixes: %d %x %o %#x %#o \n", 100, 100, 100, 100, 100);
   wprintf (L"floats: %4.2f %+.0e %E \n", 3.1416, 3.1416, 3.1416);
   wprintf (L"Width trick: %*d \n", 5, 10);
   wprintf (L"%ls \n", L"A wide string");
   return 0;
}

Output:

Characters: a A
Decimals: 1977 650000
Preceding with blanks:       1977
Preceding with zeros: 0000001977
Some different radixes: 100 64 144 0x64 0144
floats: 3.14 +3e+000 3.141600E+000
Width trick:    10
