# firestring\_estr\_sprintf(3)

snprintf(3) into an estring

## NAME

firestring\_estr\_sprintf - [**snprintf**(3)](/snprintf/3.md) into an estring

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<firestring.h\>**\
 **-lfirestring**

**long firestring\_estr\_sprintf(struct firestring\_estr\_t \****out***, const char \* const** *format***,** *...***)**

## DESCRIPTION

firestring\_estr\_sprintf() behaves exactly like [**firestring\_snprintf**(3)](/firestring_snprintf/3.md) except that it writes to an estring (which contains the size internally, so size is not needed as a parameter).

## RETURN VALUE

Returns the number of bytes written to *out*.
