wsscanf

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  con-
       verted  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.
