<a id="id3234388"></a>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>sprintf</em></span> write printf-style formatted output to a string variable, similarly to the C function sprintf(). <span class="emphasis"><em>sprintf</em></span> runs at i-time only.

<h2>Syntax</h2>
<pre class="synopsis">Sdst <span class="command"><strong>sprintf</strong></span> Sfmt, xarg1[, xarg2[, ... ]]</pre>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Initialization">
<a id="id3235032"></a>
<h2>Initialization</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Sfmt</em></span> -- format string, has the same format as in printf() and other similar C functions, except length modifiers (l, ll, h, etc.) are not supported. The following conversion specifiers are allowed:

<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem">
<p>d, i, o, u, x, X, e, E, f, F, g, G, c, s</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>xarg1, xarg2, ...</em></span> -- input arguments (max. 30) for format, should be i-rate for all conversion specifiers except %s, which requires a string argument. Integer formats like %d round the input values to the nearest integer.
