Format a character string array.

This function is compatible with the following targets:

ANSI

BeOS

EMB/RTOS

Mac OS

Palm OS

Win32

#include <stdio.h>

int sprintf(char *s, const char *format, ...);

Parameters for this facility are:

s	char *	A string to write to
format	const char *	The format string

The sprintf() function works identically to printf() with the addition of the s parameter. Output is stored in the character array pointed to by s instead of being sent to stdout. The function terminates the output character string with a null character.

For specifications concerning the output control string and conversion specifiers please see: "Output Control String and Conversion Specifiers."

sprintf() returns the number of characters assigned to s, not including the null character.

"fprintf"

"printf"

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	int i = 1;
	static char s[] = "Metrowerks";
	char dest[50];

	sprintf(dest, "%s is number %d!", s, i);
	puts(dest);

	return 0;
}
Output:
Metrowerks is number 1!
