* Name: asprintf
*
* Description:
* This function is similar to sprintf, except that it dynamically
* allocates a string (as with malloc) to hold the output, instead of
* putting the output in a buffer you allocate in advance. The ptr
* argument should be the address of a char * object, and a successful
* call to asprintf stores a pointer to the newly allocated string at that
* location.
*
* Returned Value:
* The returned value is the number of characters allocated for the buffer,
* or less than zero if an error occurred. Usually this means that the
* buffer could not be allocated.
*
