13 /* eXtended Varlist String Buffer printf
14  *
15  * Formats via 'vsnprintf' into a string buffer, with some semantic
16  * specialties:
17  *
18  * - The start of the buffer pointer is updated according to the number
19  *   of characters written.
20  * - If the buffer is insufficient to format the number of charactes,
21  *   the partial result will be be discarded, and zero is returned to
22  *   indicate nothing was written to the buffer.
23  * - On successful formatting, the return code is the return value of
24  *   the inner call to 'vsnprintf()'.
25  * - If there is any error, the state of the buffer will not be
26  *   changed. (Bytes in the buffer might be smashed, but the buffer
27  *   position does not change, and the NUL marker stays in place at the
28  *   current buffer position.)
29  * - If '(*ppbuf - pend) <= 0' (or ppbuf is NULL), fail with EINVAL.
