<h1> The <tt>lolstdio</tt> library interface </h1>
<p>
The following functions are declared in the <tt>skalibs/lolstdio.h</tt> header,
and implemented in the <tt>libskarnet.a</tt> or <tt>libskarnet.so</tt> library.
</p>
<h2> General information </h2>
<p>
<tt>lolstdio</tt> is a set of convenience functions providing
<a href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/printf.html">printf</a>-style
formatting but interacting with <a href="buffer.html">buffers</a> or
<a href="bufalloc.html">bufallocs</a> instead of stdio FILEs.
</p>
<p>
Like any printf-style functions, the lolstdio functions are rather
complex and inefficient, and not recommended for general use; they are
provided as a quick and dirty way to debug or test things. Programmers
are advised to use the <a href="fmtscan.html">type-specific formatting
functions</a> instead in production-quality code.
</p>
<p>
Be aware that functions writing into buffers interact badly with
non-blocking fds (and asynchronism in general) - just as you cannot
use FILEs with non-blocking output. Functions writing into bufallocs,
however, are fine, because bufallocs are much more suited to asynchronous
writing than fixed-size buffers or FILEs are.
</p>
<p>
The current lolstdio implementation relies on the libc's
<a href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/vsnprintf.html">vsnprintf</a>
function.
</p>
<h2> Functions </h2>
<p>
<code> int vbprintf (buffer *b, char const *format, va_list args) </code> <br />
Like <a href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/vfprintf.html">vfprintf</a>
except that the result is written to the buffer <em>b</em>.
</p>
<p>
<code> int bprintf (buffer *b, char const *format, ...) </code> <br />
Like <a href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/fprintf.html">fprintf</a>
except that the result is written to the buffer <em>b</em>.
</p>
<p>
<code> int lolprintf (char const *format, ...) </code> <br />
Like <a href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/printf.html">printf</a>

Like <a href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/vfprintf.html">vfprintf</a>
except that the result is written to the bufalloc <em>ba</em>.
