# 6. Output with Unicode strings `<unistdio.h>`

This include file declares functions for doing formatted output with Unicode strings. It defines a set of functions similar to `fprintf` and `sprintf`, which are declared in `<stdio.h>`.

These functions work like the `printf` function family. In the format string:

A function name with an infix ‘`v`’ indicates that a `va_list` is passed instead of multiple arguments.

The functions `*sprintf` have a buf argument that is assumed to be large enough. (DANGEROUS! Overflowing the buffer will crash the program.)

The functions `*snprintf` have a buf argument that is assumed to be size units large. (DANGEROUS! The resulting string might be truncated in the middle of a multibyte character.)

The functions `*asprintf` have a resultp argument. The result will be freshly allocated and stored in `*resultp`.

The functions `*asnprintf` have a (resultbuf, lengthp) argument pair. If resultbuf is not NULL and the result fits into `*lengthp` units, it is put in resultbuf, and resultbuf is returned. Otherwise, a freshly allocated string is returned. In both cases, `*lengthp` is set to the length (number of units) of the returned string. In case of error, NULL is returned and `errno` is set.

The following functions take an ASCII format string and return a result that is a `char *` string in locale encoding.
