Synopsis:
    #include <stdarg.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    int vscanf( const char *format,
                va_list arg );
    #include <stdarg.h>
    #include <wchar.h>
    int vwscanf( const wchar_t *format,
                  va_list arg );

Description:
    The vscanf function scans input from the file designated by stdin under
    control of the argument format.  The format string is described under
    the description of the  scanf function.

    The vscanf function is equivalent to the  scanf function, with a
    variable argument list replaced with arg, which has been initialized
    using the  va_start macro.

    The vwscanf function is identical to vscanf except that it accepts a
    wide-character string argument for format.

Returns:
    The vscanf function returns  EOF when the scanning is terminated by
    reaching the end of the input stream.  Otherwise, the number of input
    arguments for which values were successfully scanned and stored is
    returned.

Example:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdarg.h>

    void find( char *format, ... )
      {
        va_list arglist;

        va_start( arglist, format );
        vscanf( format, arglist );
        va_end( arglist );
      }

    void main()
      {
        int day, year;
        char weekday[10], month[12];

        find( "%s %s %d %d",
                weekday, month, &day, &year );
        printf( "\n%s, %s %d, %d\n",
                weekday, month, day, year );
      }
