SCANF_L(3)                 Library Functions Manual                 SCANF_L(3)

NAME
     scanf_l, fscanf_l, sscanf_l, vfscanf_l, vscanf_l, vsscanf_l - input
     format conversion

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <locale.h>

     int
     scanf_l(locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, ...);

     int
     fscanf_l(FILE * restrict stream, locale_t loc,
         const char * restrict format, ...);

     int
     sscanf_l(const char * restrict str, locale_t loc,
         const char * restrict format, ...);

     int
     vfscanf_l(FILE * restrict stream, locale_t loc,
         const char * restrict format, va_list ap);

     int
     vscanf_l(locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, va_list ap);

     int
     vsscanf_l(const char * restrict str, locale_t loc,
         const char * restrict format, va_list ap);

DESCRIPTION
     The above functions scan input according to a specified format in the
     locale loc.  They behave in the same way as the versions without the _l
     suffix, but use the specific locale rather than the global or per-thread
     locale.  See the specific manual pages for more information.

SEE ALSO
     scanf(3), xlocale(3)

STANDARDS
     These functions do not conform to any specific standard so they should be
     considered as non-portable local extensions.

HISTORY
     These functions first appeared in Darwin and were first implemented in
     FreeBSD 9.1 and NetBSD 7.

NetBSD 10.99                   December 29, 2015                  NetBSD 10.99
