A note in case you want to avoid programming bugs and safety hazards,
commonly around by the term "buffer overflows", for your application:

*NEVER* use sprintf ()! Always use snprintf () instead!

Failing to do so is the no. 1 reason for buffer overflows and related,
easily avoidable software failures. They are not an issue of novice
programmers only.

for further information on that.
