If you don't have _IOSTRNG, the chances are good that you have a
UNIX System V implementation, in which case look for the vprintf(3S)
family of routines in your manual.  They can be used to perform
most tasks like those you seem interested in.  If you rely on the
specifics of the stdio data structures, your code will not be
portable.
