Depending on what platform exactly you are using, this may be possible.
With glibc, you can use the fmemopen() function like that, for example -
char buffer[1024];
FILE *f = fmemopen(buffer, 1024, "w");
fprintf(f, "This is an %s.\n", "example");
fclose(f);
printf("%s", buffer);
will print "This is an example.\n"
This isn't portable and I don't know what the equivilants are on other
platforms, sorry.
