Shorter function with the same behavior and a rewritten doc comment: /* * Return true if the given internal snapshot name is valid, false * otherwise. * * To prevent clashes with internal snapshot IDs, names consisting only * of digits are rejected. Empty strings are also rejected. */ bool snapshot_name_wellformed(const char *name) { return strspn(name, "0123456789") != strlen(name); } > + > +/* Following function generate id string, used by block driver, such as > qcow2. > + Since no better place to go, place the funtion here for now. */ > +void snapshot_id_string_generate(int id, char *id_str, int id_str_size) > +{ > + snprintf(id_str, id_str_size, "%d", id); > +} Since the caller has to manage id, this function doesn't really abstract anything. I would keep the snprintf() inline, there's only one caller.
