.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "BIO_PRINTF 3ossl"
BIO_PRINTF 3ossl "2023-09-19" "3.0.11" "OpenSSL"
For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
BIO_printf, BIO_vprintf, BIO_snprintf, BIO_vsnprintf \- formatted output to a BIO
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/bio.h> \& int BIO_printf(BIO *bio, const char *format, ...); int BIO_vprintf(BIO *bio, const char *format, va_list args); \& int BIO_snprintf(char *buf, size_t n, const char *format, ...); int BIO_vsnprintf(char *buf, size_t n, const char *format, va_list args); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBBIO_printf() is similar to the standard C printf() function, except that the output is sent to the specified \s-1BIO,\s0 bio, rather than standard output. All common format specifiers are supported.

\fBBIO_vprintf() is similar to the vprintf() function found on many platforms, the output is sent to the specified \s-1BIO,\s0 bio, rather than standard output. All common format specifiers are supported. The argument list args is a stdarg argument list.

\fBBIO_snprintf() is for platforms that do not have the common snprintf() function. It is like sprintf() except that the size parameter, n, specifies the size of the output buffer.

\fBBIO_vsnprintf() is to BIO_snprintf() as BIO_vprintf() is to BIO_printf().

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" All functions return the number of bytes written, or -1 on error. For BIO_snprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf() this includes when the output buffer is too small.
"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" Except when n is 0, both BIO_snprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf() always terminate their output with \*(Aq\e0\*(Aq. This includes cases where -1 is returned, such as when there is insufficient space to output the whole string.
