   NAME
        sprintf - format a C-like string into a string buffer.

   SYNOPSIS
        sprintf(destination formatstring [,value [, values] ] );

   FUNCTION
        Performs string formatting identical to printf, but directs the output
        into a specific destination in memory. This uses the ROM version
        of printf (exec.library/rawdofmt()), so it is very small.

        Assembly programmers can call this by placing values on the
        stack, followed by a pointer to the formatstring, followed
        by a pointer to the destination string.

   INPUTS
        destination - the address of an area in memory into which the
                      formatted output is to be placed.
        formatstring - pointer to a null terminated string describing the
                       desired output formatting (see printf() for a
                       description of this string).
        value(s) - numeric information to be formatted into the output
                   stream.
