low_str_sprintf
   

Write formatted data to a string.  

l_int 	low_str_sprintf ( 
		l_text 	buffer,    
		cl_text 	format,
		[, argument] ... 
);

Return Value

the number of bytes stored in buffer, not counting the terminating null character.   

Parameters

buffer

Storage location for output

format

Format-control string

argument

Optional arguments

Remarks

The low_str_sprintf function formats and stores a series of characters and values in buffer. Each argument (if any) is converted and output according to the corresponding format specification in format. 
The format consists of ordinary characters and has the same form and function as the format argument for low_str_printf. A null character is appended after the last character written. 
If copying occurs between strings that overlap, the behavior is undefined.

Example

/* LOW_STR_SPRINTF.C:    This program uses sprintf to format various
   * data and place them in the string named buffer.
   */

#include <matrixos.h>

void main( void )  {

   l_char buffer[256];
	l_text hello = "Hello";
   l_int i = 25, j = 0;
   l_double db = 1.23456789;

 /* Format and  print various data: */
	   j = sprintf( buffer, "Integer: %d\nDouble: %f\nChar: %c\nString: %s", i, db, 'a', hello);

	   DEBUG_printf(j);
}

Output in debug.deb

Output:
	Integer: 25
	Double: 1.23456789
	Char: a
	String: Hello
