nit: 'From:' and 'SoB:' should be in standardized form, I presume in your case
this would be:

Small nit, please change into something like:

         va_list ap;
         char *s;
+       int err;

         va_start(ap, fmt);
-       if (vasprintf(&s, fmt, ap) < 0)
-               return -1;
+       err = vasprintf(&s, fmt, ap);
         va_end(ap);
+       if (err < 0)
+               return -1;

         if (!oper_count) {
                 int i;

Fwiw, man page says: "On some systems, va_end contains a closing '}' matching a '{' in
va_start, so that both macros must occur in the same function, and in a way that allows
this.".

Thanks,
