* Function: platform_vasprintf

* Returns:
* Number of character written, -1 is used to indicate an error.
*
* Remarks:
* Allocate a string large enough to hold the output including
* the terminating null character than write formatted output

* Returns:
* Number of characters written, not including the terminating null
* character, or a negitive value if an output error occurs. -1 is
* also used to indicate an error.
*
* Remarks:
* Takes a pointer to an argument list, then formats and writes the

* Parameters:
* stream - Pointer to stream
*
* Returns:
* 0 value if the buffer was succesffuly flushed. The value 0 is also
* returned in cases in which the specified stream has no buffer or is
* open for reading only. A return value of *EOF* indicates an error.
*
* Remarks:
* Flushes a stream. If the file associated with stream is open for output,
* platform_fflush writes to that file the contents of the buffer
* associated with the stream. If the stream is open for input,
* platform_fflush clears the contents of the buffer. platform_fflush
* negates the effect of any prior call to ungetc against stream. Also,
* platform_fflush(NULL) flushes all streams opened for output.
* The stream remains open after the call. platform_fflush has no effect
* on an unbuffered stream.

*
* Remarks:
* Reads a single chracter from the current position of the file associated
