This function formats its arguments according to @var{template} and
|
||||
writes the result to the file descriptor @var{fd}, using the
|
||||
@code{write} function. It returns the number of bytes written, or a
|
||||
negative value if there was an error. In the error case, @code{errno}
|
||||
is set appropriately. The possible @code{errno} values depend on the
|
||||
type of the file descriptor @var{fd}, in addition to the general
|
||||
@code{printf} error codes.
|
||||
|
||||
The number of calls to @code{write} is unspecified, and some @code{write}
|
||||
calls may have happened even if @code{dprintf} returns with an error.

@strong{Portability Note:} POSIX does not require that this function is
