[PATCH 29/32] lib/string_helpers: string_get_size() now returns characters wrote

From: Kent Overstreet
Date: Tue May 09 2023 - 13:00:31 EST


From: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@xxxxxxxxx>

printbuf now needs to know the number of characters that would have been
written if the buffer was too small, like snprintf(); this changes
string_get_size() to return the the return value of snprintf().
