+This function formats its arguments according to @var{template} and
|
|
+writes the result to the file descriptor @var{fd}, using the
|
|
+@code{write} function. It returns the number of bytes written, or a
|

+negative value if there was an error. In the error case, @code{errno}
|
|
+is set appropriately. The possible @code{errno} values depend on the
