[mod.computers.apollo] need sprintf for BSD4.2/IX

hansen%UUCP@MIPS.UUCP (Craig Hansen) (03/13/86)

Can anyone supply C source for a version of sprintf
that runs under Domain/IX (BSD4.2)?  I need to write
functions like it (for printing error messages and so forth),
and bsd4.2/ix stdio.h is different from stdio.h for
both VAX and Sun, in that the _flag field has different values.

Or, to ask another way, does anyone know what to replace _IOSTRNG
with to port sprintf-like functions from VAX 4.2 to Apollo "4.2"?

It seems to me that it would be a bad idea to depend on the internals of
stdio to get your job done.  I always use vprintf, vfprintf, and vsprintf
to do this sort of thing.
