SDL_swprintf - Man Page

This works exactly like swprintf() but doesn't require access to a C runtime.

Header File

Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h

Synopsis

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

int SDL_swprintf(wchar_t *text, size_t maxlen, const wchar_t *fmt, ...);

Description

Format a wide string of up to maxlen -1 wchar_t values, converting each

While some C runtimes differ on how to deal with too-large strings, this function null-terminates the output, by treating the null-terminator as part of the maxlen count. Note that if maxlen is zero, however, no wide characters will be written at all.

This function returns the number of _wide characters_ (not _codepoints_) that should be written, excluding the null-terminator character. If this returns a number >= maxlen , it means the output string was truncated. A negative return value means an error occurred.

Referencing the output string's pointer with a format item is undefined behavior.

Function Parameters

text

the buffer to write the wide string into. Must not be NULL.

maxlen

the maximum wchar_t values to write, including the null-terminator.

fmt

a printf-style format string. Must not be NULL.

...

a list of values to be used with the format string.

Return Value

Returns the number of wide characters that should be written, not counting the null-terminator char, or a negative value on error.

Thread Safety

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

Availability

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
