Function
GLibvasprintf
since: 2.4
Declaration [src]
gint
g_vasprintf (
gchar** string,
const gchar* format,
va_list args
)
Description [src]
An implementation of the GNU vasprintf() function which supports
positional parameters, as specified in the Single Unix Specification.
This function is similar to g_vsprintf(), except that it allocates a
string to hold the output, instead of putting the output in a buffer
you allocate in advance.
The returned value in string is guaranteed to be non-NULL, unless
format contains %lc or %ls conversions, which can fail if no
multibyte representation is available for the given character.
glib/gprintf.h must be explicitly included in order to use this function.
Available since: 2.4
This function is not directly available to language bindings.

const gchar*A standard
printf()format string, but notice string precision pitfalls.The data is owned by the caller of the function. The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. args-
