[SUMMARY] snprintf()

I was telling last week:

   It looks like Tru64 UNIX doesn't have the snprintf() function in
   its standard C library (I tried on version 4.0E) but in libdb:

   libdb.a[snprintf.o]:
   snprintf | 0000000000000000 | T | 0000000000000008
   vsnprintf | 0000000000000128 | T | 0000000000000008

   Am I right? Do you think Compaq should fix this and provide
   snprintf() and friends in the standard C library?

and I got a reply from David A. Long, who works for DEC (so it
must be an informed reply :-) saying:

   Yes, especially now that this interface has appeared in recent
   standards. We have already added snprintf() to the C runtime library
   in an upcoming release of Compaq Tru64 UNIX.

The "upcoming release of Compaq Tru64 UNIX" is 5.0.
