   I almost forgot how to implement a vararg function in C programming language.  There is a example.

#include <stdarg.h>

   /* minprintf: minimal printf with variable argument list */
   void minprintf(char *fmt, ...)
   {
       va_list ap; /* points to each unnamed arg in turn */
       char *p, *sval;
       int ival;
       double dval;

       va_start(ap, fmt); /* make ap point to 1st unnamed arg */
       for (p = fmt; *p; p++) {
           if (*p != '%') {
               putchar(*p);
               continue;
           }
           switch (*++p) {
           case 'd':
               ival = va_arg(ap, int);
               printf("%d", ival);
               break;
           case 'f':
               dval = va_arg(ap, double);
               printf("%f", dval);
               break;
           case 's':
               for (sval = va_arg(ap, char *); *sval; sval++)
                   putchar(*sval);
               break;
           default:
               putchar(*p);
               break;
           }
       }
       va_end(ap); /* clean up when done */
   }

  Another example is here.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdarg.h>
int my_printf( const char *format,……)
{
    va_list ap;
    int retval;
    va_start(ap,format);
   
    printf(“my_printf( ):”);
    retval = vprintf(format,ap);
    va_end(ap);
   
    return retval;
}

main()
{
    int i = 150,j = -100;
    double k = 3.14159;
   
    my_printf(“%d %f %x/n”,j,k,i);
    my_printf(“%2d %*d/n”,i,2,i);
}

run  my_printf() : -100 3.14159 96
my_printf() : 150 150
