X-Hacker.org- Watcom C/C++ v10.0 : C library - <b>synopsis:</b> http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
Synopsis:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdarg.h>
    int vfscanf( FILE *fp,
                 const char *format,
                 va_list arg );

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

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

Returns:
    The vfscanf 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.  When a file input error occurs, the  errno global variable
    may be set.

See Also:
    cscanf, fscanf, scanf, sscanf, va_arg, va_end, va_start, vcscanf,
    vscanf, vsscanf

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

    void ffind( FILE *fp, char *format, ... )
      {
        va_list arglist;

        va_start( arglist, format );
        vfscanf( fp, format, arglist );
        va_end( arglist );
      }

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

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