passing a va_list to sprintf

I have a function:

void f(char* format, ...)
{
    va_list args;
    char buf[128];
    sprintf(buf, format, args);
    printf(buf);
}

But I can't get sprintf to properly take the args I have given to f(). I can't
seem to find any examples on passing a va_list.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
