c - How to format string using write function?

Question

In my C program, I am printing a string to the command terminal using printf("%d %s %s\n", node->id, node->date, node->input); but I need to now use the write function write(STDOUT_FILENO, cmdline, strlen(cmdline));...

How can I format the string like I did using printf?

Answer 1

Use sprintf/snprintf to format the string into a character buffer, and then write that.
