sprintf

NAME

sprintf - formatted print into a string


SYNOPSIS

sprintf FORMAT,LIST


DESCRIPTION

Returns a string formatted by the usual printf conventions of the C language. See sprintf(3) or printf(3) on your system for details. (The * character for an indirectly specified length is not supported, but you can get the same effect by interpolating a variable into the pattern.) Some C libraries' implementations of sprintf() can dump core when fed ludicrous arguments.
