2 The header <stdarg.h> declares a type and defines three macros, for advancing\r
3 through a list of arguments whose number and types are not known to the\r
4 called function when it is translated.\r
5\r
6 A function may be called with a variable number of arguments of varying types.\r
7 Its parameter list contains one or more parameters. The rightmost parameter\r
8 plays a special role in the access mechanism, and will be designated paramN\r
9 in this description.\r
10\r
11 The type va_list is a type suitable for holding information needed by the\r
12 macros va_start, va_arg, and va_end. If access to the varying arguments\r
13 is desired, the called function shall declare an object (referred to as ap\r
14 in these descriptions) having type va_list. The object ap may be passed as\r
15 an argument to another function; if that function invokes the va_arg macro\r
16 with parameter ap, the value of ap in the calling function is indeterminate\r
17 and shall be passed to the va_end macro prior to any further reference to ap.\r
18\r
19 The va_start and va_arg macros shall be implemented as macros, not as actual\r
20 functions. It is unspecified, by the C library standards, whether va_end\r
21 is a macro or an identifier declared with external linkage. If a macro\r
22 definition is suppressed in order to access an actual function, or a\r
23 program defines an external identifier with the name va_end, the behavior\r
24 is undefined. The va_start and va_end macros shall be invoked in the\r
25 function accepting a varying number of arguments, if access to the varying\r
26 arguments is desired.\r

75/** The va_arg macro expands to an expression that has the type and value of\r
76 the next argument in the call. The parameter ap shall be the same as the\r
77 va_list ap initialized by va_start. Each invocation of va_arg modifies ap\r
78 so that the values of successive arguments are returned in turn. The\r
79 parameter type is a type name specified such that the type of a pointer to\r
80 an object that has the specified type can be obtained simply by postfixing\r
81 a * to type. If there is no actual next argument, or if type is not\r
82 compatible with the type of the actual next argument (as promoted\r
83 according to the default argument promotions), the behavior is undefined.\r
