If you read this bit, I think that's what it is supposed to mean:

        Snprintf() and vsnprintf() will write at most size-1 of the
        characters printed into the output string [...]

i.e. all the characters are "printed", but not all of them are copied to
the output string.  This is certainly a new meaning of "printed" to me.
