[comp.lang.c] c$$doprint, c$$doscan

mike@bucasb.bu.edu (Michael Cohen) (09/15/87)

Does anybody know what the internal arguments are to
c$$doprint, c$$doscan.  We have an application where
we have to code our own doprint, doscan which takes
variable numbers of arguments.  It would nice rather
than to recode printf to be able to call the native Vax
C internals directly.

I am willing to bet that the VMS internal doprnt and doscan take arguments
which are remarkably similar to the functions fprintf and fscanf.  The
difference would be that the first argument would be a file descriptor
(or the VMS equivilant thereof), as opposed to a pointer to a "FILE".

By going after these entry points, you risk having your program break when
DEC gives you new libraries.
