These functions are like [v]snprintf(3), but return -1 on truncation, which makes it easier to test. In fact, the API of swprintf(3), which was invented later than snprintf(3), and is the wide-character version of it, is identical to this snprintf_(). snprintf(3) is iseful in two cases: - We don't care if the output is truncated. snprintf(3) is fine for those, and the return value can be ignored. But snprintf_() is also fine for those. - Truncation is bad. In that case, it's as bad as a hard error (-1) from snprintf, so merging both problems into the same error code makes it easier to handle errors. Return the length if no truncation so that we can use it if necessary. Not returning the whole length before truncation makes a better API, which need not read the entire input, so it's less vulnerable to DoS attacks when a malicious user controls the input. Use these functions to implement SNPRINTF(). Cc: Samanta Navarro <ferivoz@riseup.net> Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org>
