 @deftypefn Supplemental int snprintf (char *@var{buf}, size_t @var{n}, const char *@var{format}, ...)
 
-This function is similar to sprintf, but it will print at most @var{n}
-characters.  On error the return value is -1, otherwise it returns the
-number of characters that would have been printed had @var{n} been
-sufficiently large, regardless of the actual value of @var{n}.  Note
-some pre-C99 system libraries do not implement this correctly so users
-cannot generally rely on the return value if the system version of
-this function is used.
+This function is similar to @code{sprintf}, but it will write to
+@var{buf} at most @code{@var{n}-1} bytes of text, followed by a
+terminating null byte, for a total of @var{n} bytes.
+On error the return value is -1, otherwise it returns the number of
+bytes, not including the terminating null byte, that would have been
+written had @var{n} been sufficiently large, regardless of the actual
+value of @var{n}.  Note some pre-C99 system libraries do not implement
+this correctly so users cannot generally rely on the return value if
+the system version of this function is used.
