C Programming/stdio.h/vwprintf

vwprintf is a C standard library function as defined in wchar.h .It has function signature as

int vwprintf(const wchar t *format, va_list args);

In signature of function vwprintf, format is format specialisation and args is pointer to arguments.

comparision with other functions

The functioning of vwprintf is same as that of swprintf. The difference between both functions is that the argument list has been replaced by a pointer to a list of argument. vwprintf performs the wide character output to the string like stdout and stdout should not be byte oriented.

return values

vwprintf returns number of characters written but excluding the NULL character on success.But on failure it returns an error and errno is set.
