viSPrintf
Syntax
viSPrintf(ViSession vi, ViPBuf buf, ViString writeFmt, arg1, arg2, ...);
Description
Same as viPrintf, except the data are written to a user-specified buffer rather than the device. This operation is similar to viPrintf, except that the output is not written to the device, but is written to the user-specified buffer. This output buffer will be NULL terminated.
If the viSPrintf operations outputs an END indicator before all the arguments are satisfied, the rest of the writeFmt string will be ignored and the buffer string will still be terminated by a NULL.
