This most likely will not work as intended, because snprintf() returns
"[...] the number of characters which would be generated for the given
input, excluding the trailing null [...]". Would scnprintf() -- which
returns "[...] the number of characters written into @buf not including
the trailing '\0' [...]" -- do what you intended?
