- .nf
- #include <stdarg.h>
- #include <stdio.h>
- .P
- int vfscanf(FILE *restrict \fIstream\fP, const char *restrict \fIformat\fP,
- va_list \fIarg\fP);
- int vscanf(const char *restrict \fIformat\fP, va_list \fIarg\fP);

- va_list \fIarg\fP);

- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
- ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
- ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
- .P
- The
- \fIvscanf\fR(),
- \fIvfscanf\fR(),
- and
- \fIvsscanf\fR()
- functions shall be equivalent to the
- \fIscanf\fR(),
- \fIfscanf\fR(),
- and
- \fIsscanf\fR()
- functions, respectively, except that instead of being called with a
- variable number of arguments, they are called with an argument list as
- defined in the
- .IR <stdarg.h>
- header. These functions shall not invoke the
- .IR va_end
- macro. As these functions invoke the
- .IR va_arg
- macro, the value of
- .IR ap
- after the return is unspecified.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- Refer to
- .IR "\fIfscanf\fR\^(\|)".
- .SH ERRORS
- Refer to
- .IR "\fIfscanf\fR\^(\|)".
- .LP
- .IR "The following sections are informative."
- .SH EXAMPLES
- None.
- .SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
- Applications using these functions should call
- .IR va_end (\c
- .IR ap )
- afterwards to clean up.
- .SH RATIONALE
- None.
- .SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
- None.
- .SH "SEE ALSO"
