(b) - GNU libc versions:

==={
RETURN VALUE
       If  the output was truncated, the return value is -1, oth­
       erwise it is the number of characters stored, not  includ­
       ing the terminating null.  (Thus until glibc 2.0.6.  Since
       glibc 2.1 these functions return the  number of characters
       (excluding  the trailing null) which would have been writ­
       ten to the final string if enough space  had  been  avail­
       able.)

(a) - Microsoft VC++ CRT (version 6.0 tested).
