     18 /** FORMATTED BUFFER PRINTING
     19  **
     20  **  bufprint() allows your to easily and safely append formatted string
     21  **  content to a given bounded character buffer, in a way that is easier
     22  **  to use than raw snprintf()
     23  **
     24  **  'buffer'  is the start position in the buffer,
     25  **  'buffend' is the end of the buffer, the function assumes (buffer <= buffend)
     26  **  'format'  is a standard printf-style format string, followed by any number
     27  **            of formatting arguments
     28  **
     29  **  the function returns the next position in the buffer if everything fits
     30  **  in it. in case of overflow or formatting error, it will always return "buffend"
     31  **
     32  **  this allows you to chain several calls to bufprint() and only check for
     33  **  overflow at the end, for exemple:
     34  **
     35  **     char   buffer[1024];
     36  **     char*  p   = buffer;
     37  **     char*  end = p + sizeof(buffer);
     38  **
     39  **     p = bufprint(p, end, "%s/%s", first, second);
     40  **     p = bufprint(p, end, "/%s", third);
     41  **     if (p >= end) ---> overflow
     42  **
     43  **  as a convenience, the appended string is zero-terminated if there is no overflow.
     44  **  (this means that even if p >= end, the content of "buffer" is zero-terminated)
     45  **
     46  **  vbufprint() is a variant that accepts a va_list argument
     47  **/

     53  **
     54  **  bufprint_add_dir() appends the application's directory to a given bounded buffer
     55  **
     56  **  bufprint_config_path() appends the applications' user-specific configuration directory
     57  **  to a bounded buffer. on Unix this is usually ~/.android, and something a bit more
     58  **  complex on Windows
     59  **

     61  **  user-specific configuration directory to a bounded buffer. this really is equivalent
     62  **  to concat-ing the config path + path separator + 'suffix'
