__wprintf_chk

Name

__wprintf_chk -- convert formatted wide-character output, with stack checking

Synopsis

#include <wchar.h>

int __wprintf_chk(int flag, const wchar_t * format);

Description

The interface __wprintf_chk() shall function in the same way as the interface wprintf(), except that __wprintf_chk() shall check for stack overflow before computing a result, depending on the value of the flag parameter. If an overflow is anticipated, the function shall abort and the program calling it shall exit.

In general, the higher the value of flag, the more security measures this interface shall take in the form of checking the stack, parameter values, and so on.

The __wprintf_chk() function is not in the source standard; it is only in the binary standard.
