The C functions are mainly there to prevent overrunning already-allocated
buffers, which isn't an issue with Go.
You could truncate the response:
a := fmt.Sprintf("%s", "Blah blah blah")[0:10]
You could use suitable precision specifiers:
a := fmt.Sprintf("%.10s", "Blah blah blah")
You could make a custom type which implements io.Writer and truncates at a
given size, and pass it to fmt.Fprintf
