int vprintf( const char* format, std::va_list vlist );
(1) int vfprintf( std::FILE* stream, const char* format, std::va_list vlist ); (2)int vsprintf( char* buffer, const char* format, std::va_list vlist );
(3) int vsnprintf( char* buffer, std::size_t buf_size, const char* format, std::va_list vlist ); (4) (since C++11)Loads the data from the locations, defined by vlist, converts them to character string equivalents and writes the results to a variety of sinks.
1)Writes the results to
stdout.
2) Writes the results to a file stream stream.
3) Writes the results to a character string buffer.
4) Writes the results to a character string buffer. At most buf_size - 1 characters are written. The resulting character string will be terminated with a null character, unless buf_size is zero. If buf_size is zero, nothing is written and buffer may be a null pointer, however the return value (number of bytes that would be written not including the null terminator) is still calculated and returned.
[edit] Parameters stream - output file stream to write to buffer - pointer to a character string to write to buf_size - maximum number of characters to write format - pointer to a null-terminated character string specifying how to interpret the data vlist - variable argument list containing the data to printThe format string consists of ordinary byte characters (except %
), which are copied unchanged into the output stream, and conversion specifications. Each conversion specification has the following format:
%
character.-
: the result of the conversion is left-justified within the field (by default it is right-justified).+
: the sign of signed conversions is always prepended to the result of the conversion (by default the result is preceded by minus only when it is negative).+
flag is present.#
: alternative form of the conversion is performed. See the table below for exact effects otherwise the behavior is undefined.0
: for integer and floating-point number conversions, leading zeros are used to pad the field instead of space characters. For integer numbers it is ignored if the precision is explicitly specified. For other conversions using this flag results in undefined behavior. It is ignored if -
flag is present.*
that specifies minimum field width. The result is padded with space characters (by default), if required, on the left when right-justified, or on the right if left-justified. In the case when *
is used, the width is specified by an additional argument of type int, which appears before the argument to be converted and the argument supplying precision if one is supplied. If the value of the argument is negative, it results with the -
flag specified and positive field width (Note: This is the minimum width: The value is never truncated.)..
followed by integer number or *
, or neither that specifies precision of the conversion. In the case when *
is used, the precision is specified by an additional argument of type int, which appears before the argument to be converted, but after the argument supplying minimum field width if one is supplied. If the value of this argument is negative, it is ignored. If neither a number nor *
is used, the precision is taken as zero. See the table below for exact effects of precision.The following format specifiers are available:

The conversion specifier used to print char, unsigned char, signed char, short, and unsigned short expects promoted types of default argument promotions, but before printing its value will be converted to char, unsigned char, signed char, short, and unsigned short. It is safe to pass values of these types because of the promotion that takes place when a variadic function is called.
The correct conversion specifications for the fixed-width character types (std::int8_t, etc) are defined in the header <cinttypes> (although PRIdMAX, PRIuMAX, etc is synonymous with %jd
, %ju
, etc).
The memory-writing conversion specifier %n
is a common target of security exploits where format strings depend on user input.
There is a sequence point after the action of each conversion specifier; this permits storing multiple %n
results in the same variable or, as an edge case, printing a string modified by an earlier %n
within the same call.
If a conversion specification is invalid, the behavior is undefined.
[edit] Return value1-3) Number of characters written if successful or negative value if an error occurred.
4) Number of characters written if successful or negative value if an error occurred. If the resulting string gets truncated due to buf_size limit, function returns the total number of characters (not including the terminating null-byte) which would have been written, if the limit was not imposed.
[edit] NotesAll these functions invoke va_arg at least once, the value of arg
is indeterminate after the return. These functions do not invoke va_end, and it must be done by the caller.
