Re: sprintf

["Andrew S. Howell" <andy@example.com>]

Don't have a good answer for you other than it looks like BSD vs SYS
V. The man page on sun running SunOS 4.1.3 JLE for sprintf:

RETURN VALUES
     On success, printf() and  fprintf()  return  the  number  of
     characters  transmitted,  excluding  the null character.  On
     failure, they return EOF.

     sprintf() returns s.

SYSTEM V RETURN VALUES
     On success,  sprintf()  returns  the  number  of  characters
     transmitted,  excluding  the null character.  On failure, it
     returns EOF.


Don't ya just love standards....
