DESCRIPTION

22       The function returns the number of characters written into buf. Use
23       vsnprintf or vscnprintf in order to avoid buffer overflows.
24
25       Call this function if you are already dealing with a va_list. You
26       probably want sprintf instead.
27
28       See the vsnprintf documentation for format string extensions over C99.
