Dear Maintainer,
manpage for snprintf(3) indicates:
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
int snprintf(size_t size;
char str[restrict size], size_t size,
const char *restrict format, ...);
int vsnprintf(size_t size;
char str[restrict size], size_t size,
const char *restrict format, va_list ap);
The size parameter is duplicated, for both snprintf() and vsnprintf().
Also note the ";" at the end of the first "size" parameter. This is
nonsense in a C function call.
The correct synopsis should be:
int snprintf(char str[restrict size], size_t size,
const char *restrict format, ...);
int vsnprintf(char str[restrict size], size_t size,
const char *restrict format, va_list ap);
It looks like the generation of /usr/share/man/man3/snprintf.3.gz is
bogus.
It contains:
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <stdio.h>
.P
.BR "int snprintf(" "size_t size;"
.BI " char " str "[restrict " size "], size_t " size ,
.BI " const char *restrict " format ", ...);"
.BR "int vsnprintf(" "size_t size;"
.BI " char " str "[restrict " size "], size_t " size ,
.BI " const char *restrict " format ", va_list " ap );
.fi
