AHELP for CIAO 3.4 vmessage Context: slangrtl

Synopsis

Print a formatted string onto the message device

Syntax

vmessage (String_Type fmt, ...)

Description

The vmessage function formats a sprintf style argument list and displays the resulting string onto the message device.

In the current implementation, strictly speaking, the vmessage function is not an intrinsic function. Rather it is a predefined S-Lang function using a combination of Sprintf and message.
