New Revision: 251278
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/251278
Log:
Like r250701, introduce another handy function for truncating variables to a
specific byte-length. Works like vsnprintf(3).

+#
+# Similar to vsnprintf(3), write at most $size number of bytes into $var_to_set
+# using printf(1) syntax (`$format $format_args'). The value of $var_to_set is
+# NULL unless at-least one byte is stored from the output.
+#
+# Example 1:
+#
+# limit=7 format="%s"
+# format_args="'abc 123'" # 3-spaces between abc and 123
+# f_vsnprintf foo $limit "$format" "$format_args" # foo=[abc 1]
+#
+# Example 2:
+#
+# limit=12 format="%s %s"
+# format_args=" 'doghouse' 'foxhound' "
+# # even more spaces added to illustrate escape-method
+# f_vsnprintf foo $limit "$format" "$format_args" # foo=[doghouse fox]
+#
+# Example 3:
+#
+# limit=13 format="%s %s"
+# f_shell_escape arg1 'aaa"aaa' # arg1=[aaa"aaa] (no change)
+# f_shell_escape arg2 "aaa'aaa" # arg2=[aaa'\''aaa] (escaped s-quote)
+# format_args="'$arg1' '$arg2'" # use single-quotes to surround args
+# f_vsnprintf foo $limit "$format" "$format_args" # foo=[aaa"aaa aaa'a]
+#
+# In all of the above examples, the call to f_vsnprintf() does not change. Only
+# the contents of $limit, $format, and $format_args changes in each example.
