snprintf always null-terminates when the buffer length is greater than 0 and there's no error. That is, if snprintf returns >= 0 and the buffer length is > 0, the output is null-terminated.
This should be clear from your local snprintf(3) man page (e.g. https://man.openbsd.org/snprintf), but also see the C23 standard (https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3220.pdf) and POSIX (https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/).
There's the infamous strncpy, of course, which understandably could cause some confusion. And various non-vendor faux-snprintf implementations, like uprintf, that have different semantics. It's hazardous to reuse a standardized name like snprintf, even as a suffix, in an API but not implement the same fundamental semantics.
