Pointer to the output stream where the formatted wide-character output will be written.
2nd Parameter Type : const wchar_t *
A pointer to a read-only wide-character string, where each character is of type `wchar_t`. Used for representing text in wide-character encoding to support extended character sets, such as Unicode. The string is null-terminated, with the terminator being a `wchar_t` with value 0.
2nd Parameter
Pointer to a null-terminated wide-character string specifying the format of the output. It may include format specifiers like `%ls`, `%d`, etc.
3rd Parameter Type : va_list
A data type used to hold information about variable arguments passed to a variadic function. It is initialized with `va_start`, used with `va_arg`, and cleaned up with `va_end`.
3rd Parameter
The variable argument list containing the values to be formatted and written. It must be initialized with `va_start`.

The vfwprintffunction in C language Writes formatted wide character output to the specified stream using a va_list.
vfwprintf is similar to fwprintf, but instead of taking a variable number of arguments, it takes a va_list that has been initialized by va_start. This function is useful for implementing custom variadic functions that need to forward their arguments to fwprintf for wide character output.
The vfwprintffunction takes 3
parameters:
•
FILE * `stream`: Pointer to the output stream where the formatted wide-character output will be written.
•
const wchar_t * `format`: Pointer to a null-terminated wide-character string specifying the format of the output. It may include format specifiers like `%ls`, `%d`, etc.
•
va_list `args`: The variable argument list containing the values to be formatted and written. It must be initialized with `va_start`.
Writes a formatted wide-character output to the specified `stream` based on the format string `format` and the values in the `va_list` object `args`. Returns the number of wide characters written, or a negative value if an error occurs.
The vfwprintf function return value :
Returns the number of wide characters written, or a negative value if an error occurred
Output
This example demonstrates using vfwprintf in a custom logging function that can write wide character strings to different streams.
