public bool printf (out size_t bytes_written, Cancellable? cancellable, string format, ...) throws Error
This is a utility function around write_all.
It uses vprintf to turn format and ... into a string that is then written to
this.
See the documentation of write_all about the behavior of the actual write operation.
Note that partial writes cannot be properly checked with this function due to the variable length of the written string, if you need precise control over partial write failures, you need to create you own printf-like wrapper around write or write_all.
