+ When printing to a string, consider using virBuffer for
+ incremental allocations, virAsprintf for a one-shot allocation,
+ and snprintf for fixed-width buffers. Do not use sprintf, even
+ if you can prove the buffer won't overflow, since gnulib does
+ not provide the same portability guarantees for sprintf as it
+ does for snprintf.
