uszprintf(3alleg4) Allegro manual uszprintf(3alleg4)NAME
uszprintf - Writes formatted data into a buffer, specifying size. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
int uszprintf(char *buf, int size, const char *format, ...);
DESCRIPTION
This function writes formatted data into the output buffer, whose length in bytes is specified by `size' and which is guaranteed to be NULL
terminated. Example:
char buffer[10];
int player_score;
...
uszprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "Your score is: %d", player_score);
RETURN VALUE
Returns the number of characters that would have been written without eventual truncation (like with usprintf), not including the terminat-
ing null character.

uvszprintf(3alleg4) Allegro manual uvszprintf(3alleg4)NAME
uvszprintf - Writes formatted data into a buffer, using size and variable arguments. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
int uvszprintf(char *buf, int size, const char *format, va_list args);
DESCRIPTION
This is like uszprintf(), but you pass the variable argument list directly, instead of the arguments themselves. Example:
#include <stdarg.h>
void log_message(const char *format, ...)
{
char buffer[100];
va_list parameters;
va_start(parameters, format);
uvszprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), format, parameters);
va_end(parameters);
append_buffer_to_logfile(log_name, buffer);
send_buffer_to_other_networked_players(multicast_ip, buffer);
and_also_print_it_on_the_screen(cool_font, buffer);
}
void some_other_function(void)
{
log_message("Hello %s, are you %d years old?
", "Dave", 25);
}
RETURN VALUE
Returns the number of characters that would have been written without eventual truncation (like with uvsprintf), not including the termi-
nating null character.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it
