<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
<code>dprintf</code> and <code>vdprintf</code> allow printing a format, similarly to
<code>printf</code>, but write to a file descriptor instead of to a <code>FILE</code>
stream.
<p>The functions <code>_dprintf_r</code> and <code>_vdprintf_r</code> are simply
reentrant versions of the functions above.
<p><br>
<strong>Returns</strong><br>
The return value and errors are exactly as for <code>write</code>, except that
<code>errno</code> may also be set to <code>ENOMEM</code> if the heap is exhausted.
<p><br>
<strong>Portability</strong><br>
This function is originally a GNU extension in glibc and is not portable.
<p>Supporting OS subroutines required: <code>sbrk</code>, <code>write</code>.
