SDL_vsnprintf(3)

SDL_vsnprintf3

This works exactly like vsnprintf() but doesn't require access to a c runtime.

Usage

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

int SDL_vsnprintf(char *text, size_t maxlen, const char *fmt, va_list ap);

Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h

Overview

Functions identically to SDL_snprintf (), except it takes a va_list instead of using ... variable arguments.

Function parameters

text

the buffer to write the string into. Must not be NULL.

maxlen

the maximum bytes to write, including the null-terminator.

fmt

a printf-style format string. Must not be NULL.

ap

a va_list values to be used with the format string.

Return value

Returns the number of bytes that should be written, not counting the null-terminator char, or a negative value on error.

Thread safety

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
