- * @param file Asset file to test loading from.
+ *
- * @param messageId The message ID to retrieve.
+ * Unlike @ref assetLocaleGetStringWithVA this variant accepts an explicit
- * @param pluralCount Count for formulating the plural variant.
+ * array of @ref assetlocalearg_t values, which is safer to use from
- * @param buffer Buffer to write the retrieved string to.
+ * generated or scripted call sites.
- * @param bufferSize Size of the buffer.
+ *
- * @param args List of arguments for formatting the string.
+ * @param file  Locale file to search. Must be open.
- * @param argCount Number of arguments in the list.
+ * @param messageId  PO message ID to find.
- * @return Any error that occurs during testing.
+ * @param pluralCount  Count used to select the plural form.
+ * @param buffer  Buffer to receive the formatted string.
+ * @param bufferSize  Capacity of `buffer` in bytes.
+ * @param args  Array of typed arguments; may be NULL when `argCount` is 0.
+ * @param argCount  Number of elements in `args`.
+ * @return OK on success, error if the message is not found, an argument type
+ *         mismatches the specifier, or the buffer would overflow.
