BSTR_PRINTF(9)		   Basic C Library Functions		BSTR_PRINTF(9)

NAME
       bstr_printf - Format a string from binary arguments and place it in a
       buffer

SYNOPSIS
       int bstr_printf(char * buf, size_t size, const char * fmt,
		       const u32 * bin_buf);

ARGUMENTS
       buf
	   The buffer to place the result into

       size
	   The size of the buffer, including the trailing null space

       fmt
	   The format string to use

       bin_buf
	   Binary arguments for the format string

DESCRIPTION
       This function like C99 vsnprintf, but the difference is that vsnprintf
       gets arguments from stack, and bstr_printf gets arguments from bin_buf
       which is a binary buffer that generated by vbin_printf.

       The format follows C99 vsnprintf, but has some extensions: see
       vsnprintf comment for details.

       The return value is the number of characters which would be generated
       for the given input, excluding the trailing ´\0´, as per ISO C99. If
       you want to have the exact number of characters written into buf as
       return value (not including the trailing ´\0´), use vscnprintf. If the
       return is greater than or equal to size, the resulting string is
       truncated.
