Syntax
#include <stdio.h>
int fprintmsg (file *stream, char *format [, arg] ...);
Parameters
stream A stream file pointer to which the output is directed.
format A pointer to the string containing formatting information
to be output. format contains optional placeholders and
formatting specifications where arg1 thru argn are to be
substituted.
arg1 ... A character, character pointer, or integer value giving the
argn parameter to be converted, formatted, and merged with
format prior to output.
Return Values
x The number of characters transmitted.
EOF Indicates failure.
Description
The fprintmsg function places formatted output on the file or device
indicated by stream after performing the parameter substitution. This
function is derived from printf. In fprintmsg, the conversion character
% is replaced by the sequence %n$. The n is a decimal digit in the range
1-9, and indicates that this conversion should be applied to the nth
argument, rather than to the next unused one. All other aspects of
formatting are unchanged. All conversion specifications must contain the
%n$ sequence, and you should make sure the
numbering is correct. All
parameters must be used exactly once. See printf for more details on
formatting and conversion specifications.
