snprintf() is a hard-to-use function, it's especially difficult to use it for concatenating substrings in a buffer with a limited size. Since snprintf() returns the would-be-output size, not the actual size, the subsequent use of snprintf() may point to the incorrect position. Use scnprintf() instead for fixing such potential errors.
