void va_copy( va_list dest, va_list src ); | (since C99) |
The va_copy macro copies src to dest.
va_end should be called on dest before the function returns or any subsequent re-initialization of dest (via calls to va_start or va_copy).
| dest | - | an instance of the va_list type to initialize |
| src | - | the source va_list that will be used to initialize dest |
(none).
