Well, snprintf errors if the size of the buffer was too small for what it needs to write to. That can't happen here because the buffer is large (256) and the most that's going to be written is an int. So, the only way this would fail is if the code changed, which would be a programming error. In which case maybe an assert() would be more appropriate?
