2 * I'm tired of doing "vsnprintf()" etc just to open a
3 * file, so here's a "return static buffer with printf"
4 * interface for paths.
6 * It's obviously not thread-safe. Sue me. But it's quite
7 * useful for doing things like
9 * f = open(mkpath("%s/%s.git", base, name), O_RDONLY);
11 * which is what it's designed for.
