NAME

       uvsprintf  -  Writes  formatted  data  into  a  buffer,  using variable
       arguments. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int uvsprintf(char *buf, const char *format, va_list args);

DESCRIPTION

       This is like usprintf(),  but  you  pass  the  variable  argument  list
       directly,  instead  of  the  arguments  themselves.  You  can  use this
       function to implement  printf  like  functions,  also  called  variadic
       functions.  You  should  try  to avoid this function because it is very
       easy to overflow the destination buffer. Use uvszprintf instead.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns the number of characters written, not including the terminating
       null character.
