.SH DESCRIPTION
These are all functions that produce output according to a format string and
given arguments. These are mostly clones of the well-known C-style functions
and there will be no detailed explanation of all available formatting rules
and usage here.
See this table for notable exceptions.
.RS
.TP
.B curl_mprintf()
Normal printf() clone.
.TP
.B curl_mfprintf()
Normal fprintf() clone.
.TP
.B curl_msprintf()
Normal sprintf() clone.
.TP
.B curl_msnprintf()
snprintf() clone. Many systems don't have this. It is just like \fBsprintf\fP
but with an extra argument after the buffer that specifies the length of the
target buffer.
.TP
.B curl_mvprintf()
Normal vprintf() clone.
.TP
.B curl_mvfprintf()
Normal vfprintf() clone.
.TP
.B curl_mvsprintf()
Normal vsprintf() clone.
.TP
.B curl_mvsnprintf()
vsnprintf() clone. Many systems don't have this. It is just like
\fBvsprintf\fP but with an extra argument after the buffer that specifies the
length of the target buffer.
.TP
.B curl_maprintf()
Like printf() but returns the output string as a malloc()ed string. The
returned string must be free()ed by the receiver.
.TP
.B curl_mvaprintf()
Like curl_maprintf() but takes a va_list pointer argument instead of a
variable amount of arguments.
.RE
.SH AVAILABILITY
These functions will be removed from the public libcurl API in the future. Do
not use them in any new programs or projects.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The \fBcurl_maprintf\fP and \fBcurl_mvaprintf\fP functions return a pointer to
a newly allocated string, or NULL if it failed.
All other functions return the number of characters they actually outputted.
