43 /* Write formatted output to a string dynamically allocated with malloc().
44    You can pass a preallocated buffer for the result in RESULTBUF and its
45    size in *LENGTHP; otherwise you pass RESULTBUF = NULL.
46    If successful, return the address of the string (this may be = RESULTBUF
47    if no dynamic memory allocation was necessary) and set *LENGTHP to the
48    number of resulting bytes, excluding the trailing NUL.  Upon error, set
49    errno and return NULL.
50 
51    When dynamic memory allocation occurs, the preallocated buffer is left
52    alone (with possibly modified contents).  This makes it possible to use
53    a statically allocated or stack-allocated buffer, like this:
54 
55           char buf[100];
56           size_t len = sizeof (buf);
57           char *output = vasnprintf (buf, &len, format, args);
58           if (output == NULL)
59             ... error handling ...;
60           else
61             {
62               ... use the output string ...;
63               if (output != buf)
64                 free (output);
65             }
