Last Updated2023-11-06

Formats a string according to the SourceMod format rules (see documentation).

Notes

This is the same as Format(), except none of the input buffers can overlap the same memory as the output buffer. Since this security check is removed, it is slightly faster.

Maximum length of output string buffer, including the null terminator.
