Writes formatted data to a string. More secure versions of these functions are available; see _snprintf_s, _snprintf_s_l, _snwprintf_s, _snwprintf_s_l.

int _snprintf(
   char *buffer,
   size_t count,
   const char *format [,
   argument] ... 
);
int _snprintf_l(
   char *buffer,
   size_t count,
   const char *format,
   locale_t locale [,
   argument] ... 
);
int _snwprintf(
   wchar_t *buffer,
   size_t count,
   const wchar_t *format [,
   argument] ... 
);
int _snwprintf_l(
   wchar_t *buffer,
   size_t count,
   const wchar_t *format,
   locale_t locale [,
   argument] ... 
);
template <size_t size>
int _snprintf(
   char (&buffer)[size],
   size_t count,
   const char *format [,
   argument] ... 
); // C++ only
template <size_t size>
int _snprintf_l(
   char (&buffer)[size],
   size_t count,
   const char *format,
   locale_t locale [,
   argument] ... 
); // C++ only
template <size_t size>
int _snwprintf(
   wchar_t (&buffer)[size],
   size_t count,
   const wchar_t *format [,
   argument] ... 
); // C++ only
template <size_t size>
int _snwprintf_l(
   wchar_t (&buffer)[size],
   size_t count,
   const wchar_t *format,
   locale_t locale [,
   argument] ... 
); // C++ only

Parameters

buffer
Storage location for the output.
count
Maximum number of characters to store.
format
Format-control string.
argument
Optional arguments.
locale
The locale to use.

For more information, see Format Specifications.

Return Value

Let len be the length of the formatted data string (not including the terminating null). len and count are in bytes for _snprintf, wide characters for _snwprintf.

If len < count, then len characters are stored in buffer, a null-terminator is appended, and len is returned.

If len = count, then len characters are stored in buffer, no null-terminator is appended, and len is returned.

If len > count, then count characters are stored in buffer, no null-terminator is appended, and a negative value is returned.

If buffer is a null pointer and count is nonzero, or format is a null pointer, the invalid parameter handler is invoked, as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, these functions return -1 and set errno to EINVAL.

For information about these and other error codes, see _doserrno, errno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr.

Remarks

The _snprintf function formats and stores count or fewer characters in buffer, and appends a terminating null character if the formatted string length is strictly less than count characters. Each argument (if any) is converted and output according to the corresponding format specification in format. The format consists of ordinary characters and has the same form and function as the format argument for printf. If copying occurs between strings that overlap, the behavior is undefined.

Security Note
Ensure that format is not a user-defined string. Because this function does not guarantee NULL termination (in particular, when the return value is count), ensure that it is followed by code that adds the null terminator. For more information, see Avoiding Buffer Overruns.

_snwprintf is a wide-character version of _snprintf; the pointer arguments to _snwprintf are wide-character strings. Detection of encoding errors in _snwprintf might differ from that in _snprintf. _snwprintf, like swprintf, writes output to a string rather than to a destination of type FILE.

The versions of these functions with the _l suffix are identical except that they use the locale parameter passed in instead of the current thread locale.

In C++, these functions have template overloads that invoke the newer, secure counterparts of these functions. For more information, see Secure Template Overloads.
