*
* If successful, return the number of bytes emitted, not counting the
* trailing zero byte. This will always be strictly less than len.
*
* If there's not enough space in buf, return an estimate of the buffer size
* needed to succeed (this *must* be more than the given len, else callers
* might loop infinitely).
*
* Other error cases do not return, but exit via elog(ERROR) or exit().
* Hence, this shouldn't be used inside libpq.
*
* Caution: callers must be sure to preserve their entry-time errno
* when looping, in case the fmt contains "%m".
*
* Note that the semantics of the return value are not exactly C99's.
* First, we don't promise that the estimated buffer size is exactly right;
* callers must be prepared to loop multiple times to get the right size.
* (Given a C99-compliant vsnprintf, that won't happen, but it is rumored
* that some implementations don't always return the same value ...)
* Second, we return the recommended buffer size, not one less than that;
* this lets overflow concerns be handled here rather than in the callers.
