@deftypefn Supplemental int vsnprintf (char *@var{buf}, size_t @var{n}, @
  const char *@var{format}, va_list @var{ap})

This function is similar to @code{vsprintf}, but it will write to
@var{buf} at most @code{@var{n}-1} bytes of text, followed by a
terminating null byte, for a total of @var{n} bytes.  On error the
return value is -1, otherwise it returns the number of characters that
would have been printed had @var{n} been sufficiently large,
regardless of the actual value of @var{n}.  Note some pre-C99 system
libraries do not implement this correctly so users cannot generally
rely on the return value if the system version of this function is
used.

@end deftypefn
