So, that trick with using sizeof and that string 3 times is cumbersome
and prone to truncation, at least the compiler can't say that the number
you're passing to %2d will have just 2 digits:

[acme@quaco c]$ cat printf.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	char bf[64];
	int len = snprintf(bf, sizeof(bf), "%2d", atoi(argv[1]));

	printf("strlen(%s): %u\n", bf, len);

	return 0;
}
[acme@quaco c]$ ./printf 1234567
strlen(1234567): 7
[acme@quaco c]$

I'm trying to rework this.
