/* Use sprintf() without worrying about buffer size.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One problem when dealing a lot with texts and strings is the buffer
|
||
|
|
handling. Usually a programmer will frequently have to format
|
||
|
|
several strings into a new one using sprintf(3), without knowing
|
||
|
|
how long the resulting string will become.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
text_easy_sprintf() will solve this problem. The syntax is very much
|
||
|
|
like sprintf(), except for that the target buffer is allocated by
|
||
|
|
the routine and returned to the caller.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RETURNS: A buffer holding the formatted string or NULL if the
|
||
|
|
memory allocation failed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: The returned buffer has been allocated with malloc(3) and
|
||
|
|
should be freed when not needed anymore.
