NAME
       4.59 `siscanf', `fiscanf', `iscanf'--scan and format non-floating input

SYNOPSIS
	    #include <stdio.h>

	    int iscanf(const char *FORMAT, ...);
	    int fiscanf(FILE *FD, const char *FORMAT, ...);
	    int siscanf(const char *STR, const char *FORMAT, ...);

	    int _iscanf_r(struct _reent *PTR, const char *FORMAT, ...);
	    int _fiscanf_r(struct _reent *PTR, FILE *FD,
		const char *FORMAT, ...);
	    int _siscanf_r(struct _reent *PTR, const char *STR,
		const char *FORMAT, ...);

DESCRIPTION
       `iscanf',  `fiscanf',  and `siscanf' are the same as `scanf', `fscanf',
       and `sscanf' respectively, only that they restrict the  available  for‐
       mats to non-floating-point format specifiers.

	  The  routines	 `_iscanf_r', `_fiscanf_r', and `_siscanf_r' are reen‐
       trant versions of `iscanf', `fiscanf', and `siscanf' that take an addi‐
       tional first argument pointing to a reentrancy structure.

RETURNS
       `iscanf'	 returns the number of input fields successfully scanned, con‐
       verted and stored; the return value does	 not  include  scanned	fields
       which were not stored.

	  If  `iscanf'	attempts  to  read at end-of-file, the return value is
       `EOF'.

	  If no fields were stored, the return value is `0'.

PORTABILITY
       `iscanf', `fiscanf', and `siscanf' are newlib extensions.

	  Supporting OS	 subroutines  required:	 `close',  `fstat',  `isatty',
       `lseek', `read', `sbrk', `write'.

SEE ALSO
       siscanf	is  part  of the library.  The full documentation for is main‐
       tained as a Texinfo manual.  If info and are properly installed at your
       site, the command

	      info

       will give you access to the complete manual.
