SWPRINTF(3P)

🌸 SWPRINTF(3P) — POSIX Programmer's Manual 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the POSIX Programmer's Manual page for swprintf, from the 3P section 💖 (yes, the P stands for POSIX, we love a themed section, iykyk)

✨ PROLOG ✨

okay so real talk before we get into it 💅 this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. that means the Linux version of this interface might do stuff differently (so pls go read the matching Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behavior, fr fr), or honestly the interface might not even be implemented on Linux at all 😭. vibe check your platform first, bestie.

🎀 NAME 🎀

swprintf — print formatted wide-character output ✨

like, it's the wide-char girlie of the printf family. she formats, she prints, she's iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>

int swprintf(wchar_t *restrict ws, size_t n,
    const wchar_t *restrict format, ...);

look at her. restrict twice, size_t n holding it down, and a little ... at the end because she takes whatever extra args you're serving her 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the actual description here? it says: refer to fwprintf(). that's it. that's the whole thing. she's pointing you at her sister 😭 go read fwprintf() bestie, that's where the real tea is. this page is basically a forwarding address 💌
