Formatting strings in C

I was wondering how I could format the print statement in a C printf to have 4 spaces before the letter. Where the space position is predetermined by a variables

int spaces = 4;
printf("Four spaces before the sentence gets printed")

output would like

"    Four spaces before the sentence gets printed"

%s format specifier can take width as int value:

printf("%*s%s", 2, "", "Test");

prints

  Test
