-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- The <STRONG>scanw</STRONG>, <STRONG>wscanw</STRONG> and <STRONG>mvscanw</STRONG> routines are analogous to
- <STRONG>scanf</STRONG> [see <STRONG><A HREF="scanf.3S.html">scanf(3S)</A></STRONG>]. The effect of these routines is as
- though <STRONG>wgetstr</STRONG> were called on the window, and the result-
- ing line used as input for <STRONG><A HREF="sscanf.3.html">sscanf(3)</A></STRONG>. Fields which do not
- map to a variable in the <EM>fmt</EM> field are lost.
-
- The <STRONG>vwscanw</STRONG> and <STRONG>vw_scanw</STRONG> routines are analogous to <STRONG>vscanf</STRONG>.
- They perform a <STRONG>wscanw</STRONG> using a variable argument list. The
- third argument is a <EM>va</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>list</EM>, a pointer to a list of argu-
- ments, as defined in <STRONG>&lt;stdarg.h&gt;</STRONG>.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
- <STRONG>vwscanw</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> on failure and an integer equal to the
- number of fields scanned on success.
-
- Applications may use the return value from the <STRONG>scanw</STRONG>,
- <STRONG>wscanw</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvscanw</STRONG> and <STRONG>mvwscanw</STRONG> routines to determine the
- number of fields which were mapped in the call.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
- The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these func-
- tions. The function <STRONG>vwscanw</STRONG> is marked TO BE WITHDRAWN,
- and is to be replaced by a function <STRONG>vw_scanw</STRONG> using the
- <STRONG>&lt;stdarg.h&gt;</STRONG> interface. The Single Unix Specification, Ver-
- sion 2 states that <STRONG>vw_scanw</STRONG> is preferred to <STRONG>vwscanw</STRONG> since
- the latter requires including <STRONG>&lt;varargs.h&gt;</STRONG>, which cannot be
- used in the same file as <STRONG>&lt;stdarg.h&gt;</STRONG>. This implementation
- uses <STRONG>&lt;stdarg.h&gt;</STRONG> for both, because that header is included
- in <STRONG>&lt;curses.h</STRONG>&gt;.
-
- Both XSI and The Single Unix Specification, Version 2
- state that these functions return ERR or OK. Since the
- underlying <STRONG>scanf</STRONG> can return the number of items scanned,
- and the SVr4 code was documented to use this feature, this
- is probably an editing error which was introduced in XSI,
- rather than being done intentionally. Portable applica-
- tions should only test if the return value is ERR, since
- the OK value (zero) is likely to be misleading. One pos-
- sible way to get useful results would be to use a "%n"
- conversion at the end of the format string to ensure that
- something was processed.
