The effect of these routines is as though -\fBwgetstr\fR were called on the window, and the resulting line used as input -for \fBsscanf\fR(3). Fields which do not map to a variable in the \fIfmt\fR -field are lost. - -The \fBvwscanw\fR and \fBvw_scanw\fR routines are analogous to \fBvscanf\fR. -They perform a \fBwscanw\fR using a variable argument list. -The third argument is a \fIva_list\fR, -a pointer to a list of arguments, as defined in \fB<stdarg.h>\fR. -.SH RETURN VALUE -\fBvwscanw\fR returns \fBERR\fR on failure and an integer equal to the -number of fields scanned on success. - -Applications may use the return value from the \fBscanw\fR, \fBwscanw\fR, -\fBmvscanw\fR and \fBmvwscanw\fR routines to determine the number of fields -which were mapped in the call. -.SH PORTABILITY -The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions. The function -\fBvwscanw\fR is marked TO BE WITHDRAWN, and is to be replaced by a function -\fBvw_scanw\fR using the \fB<stdarg.h>\fR interface. -The Single Unix Specification, Version 2 states that -\fBvw_scanw\fR is preferred to \fBvwscanw\fR since the latter requires -including \fB<varargs.h>\fR, which -cannot be used in the same file as \fB<stdarg.h>\fR. -This implementation uses \fB<stdarg.h>\fR for both, because that header -is included in \fB<curses.h\fR>. -.LP -Both XSI and The Single Unix Specification, Version 2 state that these -functions return ERR or OK. -Since the underlying \fBscanf\fR 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 applications should only test if the return value is ERR, -since the OK value (zero) is likely to be misleading. -One possible 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. -.SH SEE ALSO -\fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBcurs_getstr\fR(3X), \fBcurs_printw\fR(3X), \fBscanf\fR(3S) -.\"# -.\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS -.\"# Local Variables: -.\"# mode:nroff -.\"# fill-column:79 -.\"# End: |
