@deftypefn Extension int asprintf (char **@var{resptr}, const char *@var{format}, ...)

Like @code{sprintf}, but instead of passing a pointer to a buffer, you
36
pass a pointer to a pointer. This function will compute the size of
37
the buffer needed, allocate memory with @code{malloc}, and store a
38
pointer to the allocated memory in @code{*@var{resptr}}. The value
39
returned is the same as @code{sprintf} would return. If memory could
40
not be allocated, zero is returned and @code{NULL} is stored in
