  33 /* Write formatted output to a string dynamically allocated with malloc().
  34    You can pass a preallocated buffer for the result in RESULTBUF and its
  35    size in *LENGTHP; otherwise you pass RESULTBUF = NULL.
  36    If successful, return the address of the string (this may be = RESULTBUF
  37    if no dynamic memory allocation was necessary) and set *LENGTHP to the
  38    number of resulting bytes, excluding the trailing NUL.  Upon error, set
  39    errno and return NULL.
  40 
  41    When dynamic memory allocation occurs, the preallocated buffer is left
  42    alone (with possibly modified contents).  This makes it possible to use
  43    a statically allocated or stack-allocated buffer, like this:
  44 
  45           char buf[100];
  46           size_t len = sizeof (buf);
  47           char *output = vasnprintf (buf, &len, format, args);
  48           if (output == NULL)
  49             ... error handling ...;
  50           else
  51             {
  52               ... use the output string ...;
  53               if (output != buf)
  54                 free (output);
  55             }
  56 
  57    Formatting takes place in the C locale, that is, the decimal point used in
  58    floating-point formatting directives is always '.'.
