Reads data from the a variety of sources, interprets it according to format and stores the results into locations defined by vlist.
1) Reads the data from
stdin
2) Reads the data from file stream stream
3) Reads the data from null-terminated wide string buffer
[edit] Parameters
| stream
|
-
|
input file stream to read from
|
| buffer
|
-
|
pointer to a null-terminated wide string to read from
|
| format
|
-
|
pointer to a null-terminated wide string specifying how to read the input.
The format string consists of whitespace characters (any single whitespace character in the format string consumes all available consecutive whitespace characters from the input), non-whitespace wide characters except % (each such character in the format string consumes exactly one identical character from the input) and conversion specifications. Each conversion specification has the following format:
-
-
- (optional) assignment-suppressing character
*. If this option is present, the function does not assign the result of the conversion to any receiving argument.
-
- (optional) integer number (greater than zero) that specifies maximum field width, that is, the maximum number of characters that the function is allowed to consume when doing the conversion specified by the current conversion specification. Note that %s and %[ may lead to buffer overflow if the width is not provided.
-
- (optional) length modifier that specifies the size of the receiving argument, that is, the actual destination type. This affects the conversion accuracy and overflow rules. The default destination type is different for each conversion type (see table below).

- conversion format specifier
The following format specifiers are available:

c

- matches a character or a sequence of characters
If a width specifier is used, matches exactly width wide characters (the argument must be a pointer to an array with sufficient room). Unlike %s and %[, does not append the null character to the array.

s
|
- matches a sequence of non-whitespace characters (a string)
If width specifier is used, matches up to width or until the first whitespace character, whichever appears first. Always stores a null character in addition to the characters matched (so the argument array must have room for at least width+1 characters)
|
[set]
|
- matches a non-empty sequence of character from set of characters.
If the first character of the set is ^, then all characters not in the set are matched. If the set begins with ] or ^] then the ] character is also included into the set. It is implementation-defined whether the character - in the non-initial position in the scanset may be indicating a range, as in [0-9]. If width specifier is used, matches only up to width. Always stores a null character in addition to the characters matched (so the argument array must have room for at least width+1 characters)
|
d
|
- matches a decimal integer.
The format of the number is the same as expected by wcstol() with the value 10 for the base argument
|
signed char* or unsigned char*
|
signed short* or unsigned short*
|
signed int* or unsigned int*
|
signed long* or unsigned long*
|
signed long long* or unsigned long long*

i
|
- matches an integer.
The format of the number is the same as expected by wcstol() with the value 0 for the base argument (base is determined by the first characters parsed)
|
u
|
- matches an unsigned decimal integer.
The format of the number is the same as expected by wcstoul() with the value 10 for the base argument.
|
o
|
- matches an unsigned octal integer.
The format of the number is the same as expected by wcstoul() with the value 8 for the base argument
|
x, X
|
- matches an unsigned hexadecimal integer.
The format of the number is the same as expected by wcstoul() with the value 16 for the base argument
|
n
|
- returns the number of characters read so far.
No input is consumed. Does not increment the assignment count. If the specifier has assignment-suppressing operator defined, the behavior is undefined
|
a, A
e, E
f, F
g, G
|
- matches a floating-point number.
The format of the number is the same as expected by wcstof()

All conversion specifiers other than [, c, and n consume and discard all leading whitespace characters (determined as if by calling iswspace) before attempting to parse the input. These consumed characters do not count towards the specified maximum field width.
If the length specifier l is not used, the conversion specifiers c, s, and [ perform wide-to-multibyte character conversion as if by calling wcrtomb() with an mbstate_t object initialized to zero before the first character is converted.
The conversion specifiers s and [ always store the null terminator in addition to the matched characters. The size of the destination array must be at least one greater than the specified field width.
The correct conversion specifications for the fixed-width integer types (int8_t, etc) are defined in the header <cinttypes>(C++) or <inttypes.h> (C) (although SCNdMAX, SCNuMAX, etc is synonymous with %jd, %ju, etc).
There is a sequence point after the action of each conversion specifier; this permits storing multiple fields in the same "sink" variable.
