NAME sscanf - simple string parser SYNOPSIS int sscanf(string str, string fmt, ...) DESCRIPTION Parse the string str, using the format string fmt. The following character sequences have a special meaning in the format string: %s match a substring %d match a number %f match a floating-point number %c match a character %% match single % Other characters must be matched exactly. %*s, %*d, %*f and %*c can be used to match without assignment. Matched substrings and numbers are assigned to the successive lvalue arguments following the format string. The number of matched substrings and numbers is returned. ERRORS An error is caused if the format string is malformed, or if too few lvalue arguments were given. SEE ALSO kfun/explode, kfun/implode, kfun/parse_string
