sprintf_s was not declared in this scope

Question

I have a C program that uses sprintf_s. It works fine in Windows, but when I compile my code in Linux it gives this error:

sprintf_s was not dec         


        

Answer 1

sprintf_s is not part of the standard C library, so it is not portable, thus you are not able to use it in Linux. BUT you have snprintf, which is very similar and it should help you to accomplish what you want.
