.SH NAME
wsscanf \- formatted input conversion
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include<stdio.h> 
#include <widec.h>

\fBint\fR \fBwsscanf\fR(\fBwchar_t *\fR\fIs\fR, \fBconst char *\fR\fIformat\fR, \fB/*\fR \fIpointer\fR */ ... );
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBwsscanf()\fR function reads Process Code characters from the Process Code string \fIs\fR, interprets them according to the \fIformat\fR, and stores the results in its arguments.  It expects, as arguments, a control string \fIformat\fR, and a set of \fIpointer\fR arguments indicating where the converted input should be stored. The results are undefined if there are insufficient \fIarg\fRs for the format.  If the format is exhausted while \fIarg\fRs remain, the excess \fIarg\fRs are simply ignored.
.sp
.LP
The conversion specifications and behavior of \fBwsscanf()\fR are the same as the regular \fBsscanf\fR(3C) function except that the source is a Process Code string for \fBwsscanf()\fR and on Extended Unix Code (EUC) character string for \fBsscanf\fR(3C).
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBwsscanf()\fR returns the number of characters matched. Otherwise, it returns a negative value.
