Idiomatic way to find how much space sprintf output would take is len = snprintf(NULL, 0, ...) + 1; Once upon a time there'd been libc implementations that blew chunks on that and somebody had come up with the following "cute" trick: len = snprintf((char *) &len, 1, ...) + 1; for doing the same. However, that's unidiomatic, harder to follow *and* any such libc implementation would violate both C99 and POSIX (since 2001). IOW, this kludge is best buried along with such libc implementations, nevermind getting cargo-culted into newer code. Our vsnprintf() does not suffer that braindamage, TYVM.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
