vfwprintf

Writes wide-character output to a stream under format control, using a variable argument list.

Library:LibC
Classification:ANSI
Service:Characters and Strings

Syntax

  #include <stdarg.h> 
  #include <wchar.h> 
   
  int  vfwprintf (
     struct _iobuf   *fp,
     const wchar_t   *format,
     va_list          arg);

Parameters

fp

(IN) Points to the file to be written to (struct _iobuf is the same as FILE).

format

(IN) Points to the format control string. See Section 12.4, Wide-Character Print Format Control Strings.

arg

(IN) Specifies a variable argument list.

Return Values

If successful, returns the number of characters written. If an output error occurred, returns a negative value and sets errno to one of the following:

Decimal

Constant

Description

4

EBADF

The file descriptor is not a valid file descriptor open for writing.

5

ENOMEM

Insufficient storage space is available.

9

EINVAL

The format string contains insufficient arguments.

12

ENOSPC

No free space remains on the device containing the file.

24

EAGAIN

The O_NONBLOCK flag is set for the file descriptor, and the process cannot immediately perform the write operation.

28

EIO

A physical I/O error has occurred.

32

EPIPE

An attempt was made to write to a pipe or FIFO that is not open for reading by any process.

63

EINTR

A signal interrupted the write operation.

71

EFBIG

An attempt was made to write to a file that exceeds the maximum file size.

101

EILSEQ

A wide-character code that does not correspond to a valid character has been detected.

Remarks

The vfwprintf function writes output to the file pointed to by fp under control of the format parameter. The vfwprintf function is equivalent to fwprintf, with the variable arguments replaced with arg, which has been initialized by the va_start macro.
