💖 SDL_IOvprintf 💖

okay bestie, welcome to SDL_IOvprintf(3), straight outta the SDL3 FUNCTIONS section of the manual. this is the one where you print formatted text into an SDL_IOStream. it's giving "printf but make it a stream". slay. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_IOvprintf — print to an SDL_IOStream data stream. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <SDL3/SDL_iostream.h>

size_t SDL_IOvprintf(SDL_IOStream *context, const char *fmt, va_list ap);

look at her. so demure. so mindful. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically, this function does formatted printing to the stream. that's it, that's the whole vibe. you hand it a stream, you hand it a format string, you hand it a va_list, and it writes the pretty formatted result right into your stream. no cap. 🫶

🧚 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🧚

  • context — a pointer to an SDL_IOStream structure. this is the stream you're printing into, the main character of the operation. 👑
  • fmt — a printf() style format string. you know her, you love her, same energy as always. 🌈
  • ap — a variable argument list. it's the va_list carrying all the extra args your format string is asking for. 💜

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

returns the number of bytes written, or 0 on failure. and if it fails? call SDL_GetError() for more info, bestie, don't just sit there guessing. 😭

💀 THREAD SAFETY 💀

do NOT use the same SDL_IOStream from two threads at once. fr fr. that's not a vibe, that's a race condition, and she will ruin your whole day. 🙈

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

this function has been available since SDL 3.2.0. iconic behavior honestly. 🎀
