Obsolete since JSAPI 38
This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.

Converts a series of JS values, passed in a va_list, to their corresponding JSAPI types.

JS_ConvertArgumentsVA(JSContext *cx, const JS::CallArgs &args,
                      const char *format, va_list ap);

Description

JS_ConvertArgumentsVA is to JS_ConvertArguments as vprintf is to printf. See JS_ConvertArguments for further information.

If JS_ConvertArgumentsVA successfully converts all arguments, it returns true. Otherwise it returns false.
