fdds_sprintf - print to a character string

SYNOPSIS

#include <fdds.h> (fixed-format sources)
#include <f90dds.h> (free-format sources)

integer function fdds_sprintf(str, fmt, ...)

character*(*) str
character*(*) fmt

DESCRIPTION

fdds_sprintf writes a formatted message to a string to allow fortran codes the same capabilities as "C" codes have with "sprintf". The message is based on the format string, fmt, and optional arguments (see fdds_printf). The return value is the number of characters in the output string, 'str'. See standard man page for sprintf.

EXAMPLES

      integer ier,i
      character*256 filename,name
      ...
      ier=fdds_sprintf(filename,'%s_%d\0',name,i)
