Function SDL_snprintf 

pub unsafe extern "C" fn SDL_snprintf(
    text: *mut c_char,
    maxlen: usize,
    fmt: *const c_char,
    ...
) -> c_int

This works exactly like snprintf() but doesn’t require access to a C runtime.

Format a string of up to maxlen-1 bytes, converting each ‘%’ item with values provided through variable arguments.

While some C runtimes differ on how to deal with too-large strings, this function null-terminates the output, by treating the null-terminator as part of the maxlen count. Note that if maxlen is zero, however, no bytes will be written at all.

This function returns the number of bytes (not characters) that should be written, excluding the null-terminator character. If this returns a number >= maxlen, it means the output string was truncated. A negative return value means an error occurred.

Referencing the output string’s pointer with a format item is undefined behavior.

Parameter: text the buffer to write the string into. Must not be NULL. Parameter: maxlen the maximum bytes to write, including the null-terminator. Parameter: fmt a printf-style format string. Must not be NULL. Parameter: … a list of values to be used with the format string. Returns: the number of bytes that should be written, not counting the null-terminator char, or a negative value on error.

Thread Safety: It is safe to call this function from any thread.

Available Since: This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
