Member Function Documentation

[noexcept, deprecated in 6.4] qsizetype QByteArray::count() const

This function is deprecated since 6.4. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Use size() or length() instead.

This is an overloaded function.

Same as size().

Related Non-Members

[deprecated] int qsnprintf(char *str, size_t n, const char *fmt, ...)

This function is deprecated. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Use C++11's std::snprintf() from <cstdio> instead.

A portable snprintf() function, calls qvsnprintf.

fmt is the printf() format string. The result is put into str, which is a buffer of at least n bytes.

Warning: Call this function only when you know what you are doing since it shows different behavior on certain platforms. Use QString::asprintf() to format a string instead.

See also qvsnprintf() and QString::asprintf().

[deprecated] int qvsnprintf(char *str, size_t n, const char *fmt, va_list ap)

This function is deprecated. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Use C++11's std::vsnprintf() from <cstdio> instead.

A portable vsnprintf() function. Will call ::vsnprintf(), ::_vsnprintf(), or ::vsnprintf_s depending on the system, or fall back to an internal version.

fmt is the printf() format string. The result is put into str, which is a buffer of at least n bytes.

The caller is responsible to call va_end() on ap.

Warning: Since vsnprintf() shows different behavior on certain platforms, you should not rely on the return value or on the fact that you will always get a 0 terminated string back. There are also differences in how %a (hex floats) and %ls (wide strings) are handled on WebAssembly and Android.

Ideally, you should never call this function but use QString::asprintf() instead.
