stpeprintf(3)              Library Functions Manual              stpeprintf(3)

NAME
        stpeprintf, vstpeprintf - create a formatted string with truncation

LIBRARY
        stp string library (libstp, pkgconf ‐‐cflags ‐‐libs libstp)

SYNOPSIS
        #include <stp/stpe/stpeprintf.h>

        char *_Nullable stpeprintf(char *_Nullable dst, char end[0],
                                   const char *restrict fmt, ...);
        char *_Nullable vstpeprintf(char *_Nullable dst, char end[0],
                                   const char *restrict fmt, va_list ap);

DESCRIPTION
        These functions are almost identical to snprintf(3) and vsnprintf(3).

        The  destination  buffer  is limited by a pointer to its end —one after
        its last element— instead of a size.

        These  functions  can  be  chained  with  calls  to  stpeprintf(3)  and
        vstpeprintf(3).

RETURN VALUE
        NULL
               •  If this function failed (see ERRORS).
               •  If dst was NULL.

        end
               •  If this call truncated.
               •  If  dst  was equal to end (a previous call to these functions
                  truncated).

        dst + strlen(dst)
               On success, these functions return a pointer to the  terminating
               null byte.

ERRORS
        These functions may fail for any of the same reasons as vsnprintf(3).
