 I often use sprintf() like
 char* ptr = errbuf;
 ptr += sprintf(ptr, "prymed LogiOpt settings:\n");
ptr += sprintf(ptr, "\tcfslib debug         : %x\n", cfslib_debug);
ptr += sprintf(ptr, "\tdata bits            : %d\n", data_bits);
ptr += sprintf(ptr, "\tdebug                : %x\n", debug);
...
 

Yes, That does have the advantage of putting the elements that relate closer together, but its fucking inefficient code wise.
