6 Output with Unicode strings <unistdio.h>

This include file declares functions for doing formatted output with Unicode strings. It defines a set of functions similar to fprintf and sprintf, which are declared in <stdio.h>.

These functions work like the printf function family. In the format string:

A function name with an infix ‘v’ indicates that a va_list is passed instead of multiple arguments.

The functions *sprintf have a buf argument that is assumed to be large enough. (DANGEROUS! Overflowing the buffer will crash the program.)

The functions *snprintf have a buf argument that is assumed to be size units large. (DANGEROUS! The resulting string might be truncated in the middle of a multibyte character.)

The functions *asprintf have a resultp argument. The result will be freshly allocated and stored in *resultp.

The functions *asnprintf have a (resultbuf, lengthp) argument pair. If resultbuf is not NULL and the result fits into *lengthp units, it is put in resultbuf, and resultbuf is returned. Otherwise, a freshly allocated string is returned. In both cases, *lengthp is set to the length (number of units) of the returned string. In case of error, NULL is returned and errno is set.

The following functions take an ASCII format string and return a result that is a char * string in locale encoding.
