passing a va_list to sprintf

[Shea Martin]

I have a function:

void f(char* format, ...)
{
va_list args;
char buf[128];
sprintf(buf, format, args);
printf(buf);
}

But I can't get sprintf to properly take the args I have given to f(). I can't
seem to find any examples on passing a va_list.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

What you want is vsprintf and not sprintf. Remember to call va_start before
making the call to vsprintf and call va_end after the call returns. Look
up your favorite C book or manual for more details.

-nrk.

Try vsprintf.
