Format is hexadecimal. What's wrong with signed integer?

Adding asserts is good idea - but they should be complete. Look here:

From man:
The functions snprintf() and vsnprintf() do not write more than size bytes (including the terminating null byte ('\0')). If the output was truncated due to this limit, then the return value is the number of characters (excluding the terminating null byte) which would have been written to the final string if enough space had been available. Thus, a return value of size or more means that the output was truncated.

I.e. sizeof(text) should also be taken into an account.
