#### NAME

> vfwprintf, vswprintf, vwprintf - wide-character formatted output of a stdarg argument list

#### SYNOPSIS

> ``#include <stdarg.h>
> #include <stdio.h>
> #include <wchar.h>
> int vfwprintf(FILE *restrict` stream`, const wchar_t *restrict` format`,
> va_list` arg`);
> int vswprintf(wchar_t *restrict` ws`, size_t` n`,
> const wchar_t *restrict` format`, va_list` arg`);
> int vwprintf(const wchar_t *restrict` format`, va_list` arg`);
> ``

#### DESCRIPTION

> [CX] The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

> The vfwprintf(), vswprintf(), and vwprintf() functions shall be equivalent to fwprintf(), swprintf(), and wprintf() respectively, except that instead of being called with a variable number of arguments, they are called with an argument list as defined by <stdarg.h>.

> These functions shall not invoke the va_end macro. However, as these functions do invoke the va_arg macro, the value of ap after the return is unspecified.

#### RETURN VALUE

> Refer to fwprintf .

#### ERRORS

> Refer to fwprintf .

The following sections are informative.

#### EXAMPLES

> None.

#### APPLICATION USAGE

> Applications using these functions should call va_end(ap) afterwards to clean up.

#### RATIONALE

> None.

#### FUTURE DIRECTIONS

> None.

#### SEE ALSO

> fwprintf

> XBD <stdarg.h> , <stdio.h> , <wchar.h>

#### CHANGE HISTORY

> First released in Issue 5. Included for alignment with ISO/IEC 9899:1990/Amendment 1:1995 (E).

#### Issue 6

> The vfwprintf(), vswprintf(), and vwprintf() prototypes are updated for alignment with the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard.
