duplicating printf()

Read-Only Author andy corkan Posted 27-May-2001 17:03 GMT Toolset None	duplicating printf() andy corkan I need to write a function that has the same parameters as printf(), eg. my_printf(char, ...), that will perform some minor operations and then call the printf() function. What is the correct way to define my function so that I can then pass the parameters to printf()? Put another way, what is the type of the variable argument list, "...", in the example below?? Thanks //// int my_printf(char pfmt,...) { // misc code here printf(pfmt,...); } ////

It shows how to set up for handling variable arguments using the va_' macros and passing the format string and variable argument list to vprintf(). --Dan Henry
