snprintf

Formatting output into unpacked string

Syntax: snprintf(dest[],size=sizeof dest,const format[], {Fixed, }:...)

  • dest[] string array where to store formatted output

  • size size of output array

  • const format[] string array with formatting text

  • ... variable arguments used to feed into formatting text

Notes: This function works in the same was as printf with the exception that it stores the output into the destination. The size of the destination must be specified and usually is retrieved during runtime by leaving a standard value.

Example: snprintf(dest,"My name is %s\r\n", ,name), stands for sizeof dest and it is filled automatically in runtime
