I don't agree with that, since the other functions return the number of

ben@strontium:~/tmp$ cat t.c
int
main(void) {
int n;
char *p;
n = printf("foo\n");
printf("n=%d\n", n);
n = asprintf(&p, "%d %d", 123, 456);
printf("p=%s n=%d\n", p, n);
/* etc */
return (0);
}
ben@strontium:~/tmp$ ./a.out
foo
n=4
p=123 456 n=7
