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 preceding a special sequence 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 matches is returned.
ERRORS
An error is caused if the format string is malformed, or if too few
lvalue arguments were given.
