100 * function, if you don't have a better option.
102 * On entry, @*buf_inout@ should be null or a buffer pointer,
103 * with @*sz_inout@ either zero or the buffer's size,
104 * respectively. On exit, @*buf_input@ and @*sz_inout@ will be
105 * updated, if necessary, to describe a sufficiently large
106 * buffer, and the formatted string will have been written to
109 * When the buffer is no longer required, free it using @xfree@.
