CRTL, fwscanf

|
Reads input from the stream under control of the wide-character
format string.
Format
#include <wchar.h>
int fwscanf (FILE *stream, const wchar_t *format, . . . );
stream
A file pointer.
format
A pointer to a wide-character string containing the format
specification.
. . .
Optional expressions whose results correspond to conversion
specifications given in the format specification.
If no conversion specifications are given, you can omit the input
pointers. Otherwise, the function calls must have exactly as
many input pointers as there are conversion specifications, and
the conversion specifications must match the types of the input
pointers.
Conversion specifications are matched to input sources in left-
to-right order. Excess input pointers, if any, are ignored.
The fwscanf function reads input from the stream pointed to by
stream under the control of the wide-character string pointed
to by format. If there are insufficient arguments for the
format, the behavior is undefined. If the format is exhausted
while arguments remain, the excess arguments are evaluated, but
otherwise ignored.
The format is composed of zero or more directives that include:
o One or more white-space wide characters.
o An ordinary wide character (neither a percent (%)) nor a
white-space wide character).
o Conversion specifications.
Each conversion specification is introduced by the wide character
%.
If the stream pointed to by the stream argument has no
orientation, fwscanf makes the stream wide-oriented.
n The number of input items assigned, sometimes
fewer than provided for, or even zero, in the
event of an early matching failure.
EOF Indicates an error; input failure occurs
before any conversion.
