... there are certain requirements that require you to know the exact number of bytes that you are going to write Exactly - nobody is arguing with that! In fact, precisely because it is essential to know the actual number of characters is why Per said: That is why you should never (N.E.V.E.R.) manually "count" the number of produced characters. In fact, because you do need to know this before writing, you cannot use printf - you must use sprintf or somesuch to fill a buffer first so that you can check the buffer before comitting it to the file system! |
