These macros take the array size argument implicitly to avoid programmer
mistakes. This guarantees that the input is an array, unlike the common
call
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ...);
which is dangerous if the programmer passes a pointer.
These macros are essentially the same as the 2-argument version of
strscpy(), but with a formatted string.
