You mean over-terminate strings properly.

snprintf will always terminate strings correctly.  It writes no more
then N characters "including the terminating null byte".  (That last bit
from the C standard).

This means the following code is silly (double terminates):
        char buf[BUFSIZ];
        snprintf(buf, BUFSIZ - 1, ...);
as is
        snprintf(buf, BUFSIZ, ...);
        buf[BUFSIZ - 1] = 0;

The first makes your buffer too small, the second sets a nil over a
guaranteed nil.  

Of course they are broken implementations... but that's another story.

        char buf[10];
        snprintf(buf,10,"Long String Longer then 10 bytes");
        puts(buf);

Should print:
        "Long Stri"

Do these marketing people even know what sourceforge is?
