- * Safer version of snprintf that writes up to buflen characters to
- * the output buffer and ensures that the resultant string is null-terminated,
- * that is, it writes at most buflen-1 actual string characters to buffer. The
- * return value is the number of characters which should be written to the
- * buffer, so string truncation can be detected by the caller by checking if
- * the return value is greater than or equal to the buflen.
+ * This functio is deprecated and just for backward compatibility.
+ * It is just an alternate version of snprintf.
