+This function formats its arguments according to @var{template} and
+writes the result to the file descriptor @var{fd}, using the
+@code{write} function.  It returns the number of bytes written, or a
+negative value if there was an error.  In the error case, @code{errno}
+is set appropriately.  The possible @code{errno} values depend on the
+type of the file descriptor @var{fd}, in addition to the general
+@code{printf} error codes.

+The number of calls to @code{write} is unspecified, and some @code{write}

 Here's an example showing how you might use @code{vfprintf}.  This is a
 function that prints error messages to the stream @code{stderr}, along
 with a prefix indicating the name of the program
