/** FORMATTED BUFFER PRINTING
 **
 **  bufprint() allows your to easily and safely append formatted string
 **  content to a given bounded character buffer, in a way that is easier
 **  to use than raw snprintf()
 **
 **  'buffer'  is the start position in the buffer,
 **  'buffend' is the end of the buffer, the function assumes (buffer <= buffend)
 **  'format'  is a standard printf-style format string, followed by any number
 **            of formatting arguments
 **
 **  the function returns the next position in the buffer if everything fits
 **  in it. in case of overflow or formatting error, it will always return "buffend"
 **
 **  this allows you to chain several calls to bufprint() and only check for
 **  overflow at the end, for exemple:
 **
 **     char   buffer[1024];
 **     char*  p   = buffer;
 **     char*  end = p + sizeof(buffer);
 **
 **     p = bufprint(p, end, "%s/%s", first, second);
 **     p = bufprint(p, end, "/%s", third);
 **     if (p >= end) ---> overflow
 **
 **  as a convenience, the appended string is zero-terminated if there is no overflow.
 **  (this means that even if p >= end, the content of "buffer" is zero-terminated)
 **
 **  vbufprint() is a variant that accepts a va_list argument

/** USEFUL DIRECTORY SUPPORT
 **
 **  bufprint_add_dir() appends the application's directory to a given bounded buffer
 **
 **  bufprint_config_path() appends the applications' user-specific configuration directory
 **  to a bounded buffer. on Unix this is usually ~/.android, and something a bit more
 **  complex on Windows
 **
 **  bufprint_config_file() appends the name of a file or directory relative to the
 **  user-specific configuration directory to a bounded buffer. this really is equivalent
 **  to concat-ing the config path + path separator + 'suffix'
 **
 **  bufprint_temp_dir() appends the temporary directory's path to a given bounded buffer
 **
 **  bufprint_temp_file() appens the name of a file or directory relative to the
 **  temporary directory. equivalent to concat-ing the temp path + path separator + 'suffix'
