pmsprintf - formatted string conversion

#include<pcp/pmapi.h>intpmsprintf(char*str,size_tsize,constchar*fmt,.../*args*/);cc...-lpcp

       Safe string formatting interface that wraps the vsnprintf(3) call.

       It differs primarily in that pmsprintf guarantees that the output buffer str will be null-terminated even
       when  the  provided  buffer  size  is insufficient to contain the formatted string.  In this case a null-
       terminated truncated string will be returned in str.

       In the case of a failure in the underlying vsnprintf interface, a null-terminated empty  string  will  be
       returned in str, and the return value will be zero.

       On  successful completion, pmsprintf returns the number of characters written to the supplied buffer, not
       including the null terminator.

       The return code is always zero or more, never negative.
