NAME
     vfmt_$write - formatted write to standard output

SYNOPSIS (C)
     #include <apollo/base.h>
     #include <apollo/vfmt.h>

     void vfmt_$write(
          char *control_string,
          ...)

SYNOPSIS (Pascal)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.pas';
     %include '/sys/ins/vfmt.ins.pas';

     procedure vfmt_$write(
          in control_string: univ vfmt_$string_t;
          in a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9, a10,
               a11, a12, a13, a14, a15, a16, a17, a18, a19, a20:
                    univ vfmt_$generic_signed_arg);

SYNOPSIS (FORTRAN)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.ftn'
     %include '/sys/ins/vfmt.ins.ftn'

           integer*2 nchar
           parameter (nchar = 128)

           character control_string*(nchar)
           integer*4 a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9, a10, a11
           integer*4 a12, a13, a14, a15, a16, a17, a18, a19, a20

           call vfmt_$write10(control_string,
          &                   a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9, a10, a11,
          &                   a12, a13, a14, a15, a16, a17, a18, a19, a20)

DESCRIPTION
     Vfmt_$write encodes up to twenty source variables into an ASCII string
     whose format is defined by control_string, and writes the result to stan-
     dard output.

     control_string
          A VFMT format string defining how to format the source variables.

     a1, a2, a3, ... a19, a20
          Up to 20 source variables containing data to encode into ASCII.

NOTES
     A string field in control_string requires two source variables:  a char-
     acter array containing the value of the string, and a 2-byte integer
     variable specifying the number of bytes in the string.

     vfmt_$write10, vfmt_$write2, vfmt_$write5.
