                     14: sprintf formats  and prints a string.   It resembles the function
                     15: printf, except that it writes its output into the memory location
                     16: pointed to by string, instead of to the standard output.
                     17: 
                     18: sprintf reads the string pointed  to by format to specify an out-
                     19: put format  for each arg;  it then writes every  arg into string,
                     20: which it  ends with a null character.   For a detailed discussion
                     21: of sprintf's formatting codes, see printf.

                     32: 
                     33: The output string passed to  sprintf must be large enough to hold
                     34: all output characters.
                     35: 
                     36: Because C  does not perform type checking,   it is essential that
                     37: each argument match its format specification.
                     38: 
                     39: At present, sspprriinnttff does not return a meaningful value.
