     The 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 the
     <format> argument. The format consists of ordinary characters and
     has the same form and function as the <format> argument for the
     printf function. A null character is appended to the end of the
     characters written, but is not counted in the return value.

     Return Value
 
     The sprintf function returns the number of characters stored in
     <buffer>, excluding the terminating null character.
