That's not true though:

--------------------------------------------------------- test.c -----
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int
main ()
{
  char s[10];

  snprintf (s, sizeof s, "%s", "0123456789");
  printf ("s = %s\n", s);
  return 0;
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

$ gcc -Wall test.c -o test
$ ./test
s = 012345678
