@deftypefn Extension int vasprintf (char **@var{resptr}, @
  const char *@var{format}, va_list @var{args})

Like @code{vsprintf}, but instead of passing a pointer to a buffer,
you pass a pointer to a pointer.  This function will compute the size
of the buffer needed, allocate memory with @code{malloc}, and store a
pointer to the allocated memory in @code{*@var{resptr}}.  The value
returned is the same as @code{vsprintf} would return.  If memory could
not be allocated, minus one is returned and @code{NULL} is stored in
@code{*@var{resptr}}.
