+/**
+ * Safely print into a buffer at a given offset
+ *
+ * \param b Determines the buffer, its size, and the offset.
+ * \param fmt The format string.
+ *
+ * This function prints into the buffer given by \a b at the offset which is
+ * also given by \a b. If there is not enough space to hold the result, the
+ * buffer size is doubled until the underlying call to vsnprintf() succeeds
+ * or the size of the buffer exceeds the maximal size specified in \a pb.
+ *
+ * In the latter case the unmodified \a buf and \a offset values as well as the
+ * private_data pointer of \a b are passed to the \a max_size_handler of \a b.
+ * If this function succeeds, i.e. returns a non-negative value, the offset of
+ * \a b is reset to zero and the given data is written to the beginning of the
+ * buffer.
+ *
+ * Upon return, the offset of \a b is adjusted accordingly so that subsequent
+ * calls to this function append data to what is already contained in the
+ * buffer.
+ *
+ * It's OK to call this function with \p b->buf being \p NULL. In this case, an
+ * initial buffer is allocated.
+ *
+ * \return The number of bytes printed into the buffer (not including the
+ * therminating \p NULL byte).
+ *
