-.TH ASPRINTF 3 2013-06-21 "GNU" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
-.SH NAME
-asprintf, vasprintf \- print to allocated string
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.BR "#define _GNU_SOURCE" "         /* See feature_test_macros(7) */"
-.br
-.B #include <stdio.h>
-.sp
-.BI "int asprintf(char **" strp ", const char *" fmt ", ...);"
-.sp
-.BI "int vasprintf(char **" strp ", const char *" fmt ", va_list " ap );
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The functions
-.BR asprintf ()
-and
-.BR vasprintf ()
-are analogs of
-.BR sprintf (3)
-and
-.BR vsprintf (3),
-except that they allocate a string large enough to hold the output
-including the terminating null byte (\(aq\\0\(aq),
-and return a pointer to it via the first argument.
-This pointer should be passed to
-.BR free (3)
-to release the allocated storage when it is no longer needed.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-When successful, these functions return the number of bytes printed,
-just like
-.BR sprintf (3).
-If memory allocation wasn't possible, or some other error occurs,
-these functions will return \-1, and the contents of
-.I strp
-is undefined.
-.SH CONFORMING TO
-These functions are GNU extensions, not in C or POSIX.
-They are also available under *BSD.
-The FreeBSD implementation sets
-.I strp
-to NULL on error.
-.SH SEE ALSO
-.BR free (3),
-.BR malloc (3),
-.BR printf (3)
