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

Like @code{sprintf}, but instead of passing a pointer to a buffer, you

pass a pointer to a pointer.  This function will compute the size of

the buffer needed, allocate memory with @code{malloc}, and store a

pointer to the allocated memory in @code{*@var{resptr}}.  The value

returned is the same as @code{sprintf} would return.  If memory could

not be allocated, zero is returned and @code{NULL} is stored in

@code{*@var{resptr}}.
