Note that in Unix, vsnprintf() returns the TOTAL number of chars needed (add 1
for the null). If the output would overflow the buffer, then you would get a

Thanks, but as Philip mentioned earlier I've completely rewritten the

Thanks Tim. Technically according to the docs it's not legal to call file
without an argument; in other words, you should be running $(file 4touch,)
(note the comma) instead. However, to be clear this will add a newline to the
file in all cases,
