Function
GLibvasprintf
since: 2.4
Description
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.
