Str.strdupVprintf

Similar to the standard C vsprintf() function but safer, since it calculates the maximum space required and allocates memory to hold the result. The returned string should be freed with g_free() when no longer needed.

The returned string is guaranteed to be non-NULL, unless format contains `lc` or `ls` conversions, which can fail if no multibyte representation is available for the given character.

See also g_vasprintf(), which offers the same functionality, but additionally returns the length of the allocated string.
