NAME
    sprintf - format a C-like string into a string buffer.

SYNOPSIS
    sprintf(destination formatstring [,value [, values] ] );

FUNCTION
    Performs string formatting identical to printf, but directs the output
    into a specific destination in memory. This uses the ROM version
    of printf (exec.library/RawDoFmt()), so it is very small.

    Assembly programmers can call this by placing values on the
    stack, followed by a pointer to the formatstring, followed
    by a pointer to the destination string.

INPUTS
    destination - the address of an area in memory into which the
                  formatted output is to be placed.
    formatstring - pointer to a null terminated string describing the
                   desired output formatting (see printf() for a
                   description of this string).
    value(s) - numeric information to be formatted into the output
               stream.

SEE ALSO
     printf(), exec.library/RawDoFmt()
