WSSCANF(3C) Standard C Library Functions WSSCANF(3C)

NAME

wsscanf - formatted input conversion

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdio.h>
#include <widec.h>

int wsscanf(wchar_t *s, const char *format, /* pointer */ ... );

DESCRIPTION

The wsscanf() function reads Process Code characters from the Process
Code string s, interprets them according to the format, and stores the
results in its arguments. It expects, as arguments, a control string
format, and a set of pointer arguments indicating where the converted
input should be stored. The results are undefined if there are
insufficient args for the format. If the format is exhausted while args
remain, the excess args are simply ignored.


The conversion specifications and behavior of wsscanf() are the same as
the regular sscanf(3C) function except that the source is a Process Code
string for wsscanf() and on Extended Unix Code (EUC) character string for
sscanf(3C).

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, wsscanf() returns the number of characters
matched. Otherwise, it returns a negative value.
