How to pass variable number of arguments to printf/sprintf

by 
void Error(const char* format, ...)
{
    va_list argptr;
    va_start(argptr, format);
    vfprintf(stderr, format, argptr);
    va_end(argptr);
}

If you want to manipulate the string before you display it and really do need it stored in a buffer first, use vsnprintf instead of vsprintf. vsnprintf will prevent an accidental buffer overflow error.
