Given what's been said elsewhere about these being cut-down example snippets and not anything real... Never use the "%s" format specifier. It interprets the C string argument in a completely unreliable encoding. If the argument contains or could contain any non-ASCII characters, you're likely to get a nasty surprise. Worse, the nasty surprise may not show up until your code is run on a system set to a language/locale other than your usual one.
