+### `mg_printf( conn, fmt, ... );`
+
+### Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+|**`conn`**|`struct mg_connection *`|The connection over which the data must be sent|
+|**`fmt`**|`const char *`|Format string|
+|**`...`**|*various*|Parameters as specified in the format string|
+
+### Return Value
+
+| Type | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+|`int`|Number of bytes written or an error code|
+
+### Description
+
+The function `mg_printf()` can be used to send formatted strings over a connection. The functionality is comparable to the `printf()` family of functions in the standard C library. The function returns **0** when the connection has been closed, **-1** if an error occurred and otherwise the number of bytes written over the connection. Except for the formatting part, the `mg_printf()` function is identical to the function [`mg_write()`](mg_write.md).
