Loads the data from the given locations, converts it to multibyte string equivalents and writes the results to a string buffer.
- Parameters
-
[out] | pDest | is a pointer to the output buffer where the converted string is to be written to. A size, in bytes, of the buffer is specified by cchDest. |
[in] | cchDest | is a size, in bytes, of the output buffer. If cchDest is zero, pDest may be a null pointer. At most \((cchDest - 1)\) bytes of the formatted string are written to the output buffer. A zero terminator is always appended to the end of the output string. |
[in] | pszFormat | is a pointer to a zero terminated string defining how to interpret data, passed as additional parameters, during construction of the output. See PrintfA for the definition of the format lexemes. |
| ... | constitute an optional set of additional parameters to build the formatted output according to pszFormat. |
- Returns
- On success the function returns a number of bytes that would have been written had cchDest been sufficiently large, not counting the terminating zero. If an error occurs the function returns a negative number setting the corresponding errno code. Thus an output string has been completely written to the output buffer if and only if the function returns a nonnegative number strictly less than cchDest.
The function implements the behaviour of the standard C vsnprintf function with full accordance to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (aka C99) and ISO/IEC 9899:2011 (aka C11) with some standard-compatible extensions specific to the chsvlib library. See PrintfA for the details.
