String Format Function
int vfprintf(FILE* stream, const char *format, va_list argptr);
int vfwprintf(FILE* stream, const wchar_t *format , va_list argptr);
int _vftprintf(FILE* stream, const TCHAR *format, va_list argptr);
Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview
The vfprintf function formats a null-terminated string, using the format argument and the data pointed to by the argptr argument, and outputs it to a stream. The number of bytes written is returned, or -1 if an error occurs.
vfwprintf is the wide character version and returns the number of wide characters written.
_vftprintf is the Windows-only Generic version of the function; with the _MBCS or _UNICODE compiler flags determining its mapping to either vfprintf or vfwprintf .
I18n Issues
Use the appropriate version of the function as required for internationalization support, noting the following:
Prior to calling one of these functions, ensure that the current locale is set properly by calling setlocale, as string formatting is dependent on the LC_NUMERIC locale category.
See String Formatting in C and C++ for a discussion on locale-sensitive formatting in internationalized applications.
Recommended Replacements*
*If you're already using the recommended function, see I18n Issues for other reasons why Globalyzer is detecting the function.
