+</table> <p><br> The <b>format</b> string consists of ordinary wide characters (except <code>%</code>), which are copied unchanged into the output stream, and conversion specifications. Each conversion specification has the following format:</p>
+<ul>
+<li> introductory <code>%</code> character. </li>
+<li> <span class="t-mark">(optional)</span> one or more flags that modify the behavior of the conversion: </li>
+<ul>
+<li> <code>-</code>: the result of the conversion is left-justified within the field (by default it is right-justified). </li>
+<li> <code>+</code>: the sign of signed conversions is always prepended to the result of the conversion (by default the result is preceded by minus only when it is negative). </li>
+<li> <i>space</i>: if the result of a signed conversion does not start with a sign character, or is empty, space is prepended to the result. It is ignored if <code>+</code> flag is present. </li>
+<li> <code>#</code>: <i>alternative form</i> of the conversion is performed. See the table below for exact effects otherwise the behavior is undefined. </li>
+<li> <code>0</code>: for integer and floating point number conversions, leading zeros are used to pad the field instead of <i>space</i> characters. For integer numbers it is ignored if the precision is explicitly specified. For other conversions using this flag results in undefined behavior. It is ignored if <code>-</code> flag is present. </li>
+</ul>
+<li> <span class="t-mark">(optional)</span> integer value or <code>*</code> that specifies minimum field width. The result is padded with <i>space</i> characters (by default), if required, on the left when right-justified, or on the right if left-justified. In the case when <code>*</code> is used, the width is specified by an additional argument of type <code>int</code>, which appears before the argument to be converted and the argument supplying precision if one is supplied. If the value of the argument is negative, it results with the <code>-</code> flag specified and positive field width (Note: This is the minimum width: The value is never truncated.). </li>
+<ul>
+<li> <span class="t-mark">(optional)</span> <code>.</code> followed by integer number or <code>*</code>, or neither that specifies <i>precision</i> of the conversion. In the case when <code>*</code> is used, the <i>precision</i> is specified by an additional argument of type <code>int</code>, which appears before the argument to be converted, but after the argument supplying minimum field width if one is supplied. If the value of this argument is negative, it is ignored. If neither a number nor <code>*</code> is used, the precision is taken as zero. See the table below for exact effects of <i>precision</i>. </li>

+<p>While narrow strings provide <code><a href="vfprintf" title="c/io/vfprintf">vsnprintf</a></code>, which makes it possible to determine the required output buffer size, there is no equivalent for wide strings (until C11's vsnwprintf_s), and in order to determine the buffer size, the program may need to call <code>vswprintf</code>, check the result value, and reallocate a larger buffer, trying again until successful.</p>
+<p><code>vsnwprintf_s</code>, unlike <code>vswprintf_s</code>, will truncate the result to fit within the array pointed to by <code>buffer</code>, even though truncation is treated as an error by most bounds-checked functions.</p>
