Standard C Library Functions fwscanf(3C)

NAME

fwscanf, wscanf, swscanf, vfwscanf, vwscanf, vswscanf - con-

vert formatted wide-character input

SYNOPSIS

#include

int fwscanf(FILE *restrict stream, const wchar_t *restrict format, ...);

int wscanf(const wchar_t *restrict format, ...);

int swscanf(const wchar_t *restrict s, const wchar_t *restrict format,

...);

#include

int vfwscanf(FILE *restrict stream, const wchar_t *restrict format,

va_list arg);

int vswcanf(const wchar_t *restrict ws, const wchar_t *restrict format,

va_list arg);

int vwscanf(const wchar_t *restrict format, va_list arg);

DESCRIPTION

The fwscanf() function reads from the named input stream. The wscanf() function reads from the standard input stream stdin.

The swscanf() function reads from the wide-character string

The vfwscanf(), vswscanf(), and vwscanf() functions are

equivalent to the fwscanf(), swscanf(), and wscanf() func-

tions, respectively, except that instead of being called with a variable number of arguments, they are called with an argument list as defined by the header . These

functions do not invoke the va_end() macro. Applications

using these functions should call va_end(ap) afterwards to

Standard C Library Functions fwscanf(3C) clean up.

Each function reads wide-characters, interprets them accord-

ing to a format, and stores the results in its arguments.

Each expects, as arguments, a control wide-character string

format described below, and a set of pointer arguments indi-

cating where the converted input should be stored. The result is undefined if there are insufficient arguments for the format. If the format is exhausted while arguments remain, the excess arguments are evaluated but are otherwise ignored. Conversions can be applied to the nth argument after the format in the argument list, rather than to the next unused

argument. In this case, the conversion wide-character % (see

below) is replaced by the sequence %n$, where n is a decimal

integer in the range [1, NL_ARGMAX]. This feature provides

for the definition of format wide-character strings that

select arguments in an order appropriate to specific

languages. In format wide-character strings containing the

%n$ form of conversion specifications, it is unspecified

whether numbered arguments in the argument list can be

referenced from the format wide-character string more than

once.

The format can contain either form of a conversion specifi-

cation, that is, % or %n$, but the two forms cannot normally

be mixed within a single format wide-character string. The

only exception to this is that %% or %* can be mixed with

the %n$ form.

The fwscanf() function in all its forms allows for detection

of a language-dependent radix character in the input string,

encoded as a wide-character value. The radix character is

defined in the program's locale (category LC_NUMERIC). In

the POSIX locale, or in a locale where the radix character is not defined, the radix character defaults to a period (.).

The format is a wide-character string composed of zero or

more directives. Each directive is composed of one of the

following: one or more white-space wide-characters (space,

tab, newline, vertical-tab or form-feed characters); an

ordinary wide-character (neither % nor a white-space charac-

ter); or a conversion specification. Each conversion specif-

ication is introduced by a % or the sequence %n$ after which

the following appear in sequence:

Standard C Library Functions fwscanf(3C)

o An optional assignment-suppressing character *.

o An optional non-zero decimal integer that specifies

the maximum field width. o An option length modifier that specifies the size of the receiving object.

o A conversion specifier wide-character that speci-

fies the type of conversion to be applied. The

valid conversion wide-characters are described

below. The fwscanf() functions execute each directive of the format

in turn. If a directive fails, as detailed below, the func-

tion returns. Failures are described as input failures (due to the unavailability of input bytes) or matching failures (due to inappropriate input).

A directive composed of one or more white-space wide-

characters is executed by reading input until no more valid

input can be read, or up to the first wide-character which

is not a white-space wide-character, which remains unread.

A directive that is an ordinary wide-character is executed

as follows. The next wide-character is read from the input

and compared with the wide-character that comprises the

directive; if the comparison shows that they are not

equivalent, the directive fails, and the differing and sub-

sequent wide-characters remain unread.

A directive that is a conversion specification defines a set of matching input sequences, as described below for each

conversion wide-character. A conversion specification is

executed in the following steps:

Input white-space wide-characters (as specified by

iswspace(3C)) are skipped, unless the conversion specifica-

tion includes a [, c, or n conversion character.

An item is read from the input unless the conversion specif-

ication includes an n conversion wide-character. The length

of the item read is limited to any specified maximum field width. In Solaris default mode, the input item is defined as

the longest sequence of input wide-characters that forms a

matching sequence. In some cases, fwscanf() might need to

SunOS 5.11 Last change: 10 Jul 2008 3

Standard C Library Functions fwscanf(3C)

read several extra wide-characters beyond the end of the

input item to find the end of a matching sequence. In

C99/SUSv3 mode, the input item is defined as the longest

sequence of input wide-characters that is, or is a prefix

of, a matching sequence. With this definition, fwscanf()

need only read at most one wide-character beyond the end of

the input item. Therefore, in C99/SUSv3 mode, some sequences that are acceptable to wcstod(3C), wcstol(3C), and similar functions are unacceptable to fwscanf(). In either mode, fwscanf() attempts to push back any excess bytes read using ungetc(3C). Assuming all such attempts succeed, the first

wide-character, if any, after the input item remains unread.

If the length of the input item is 0, the conversion fails.

This condition is a matching failure unless end-of-file, an

encoding error, or a read error prevented input from the stream, in which case it is an input failure.

Except in the case of a % conversion wide-character, the

input item (or, in the case of a %n conversion specifica-

tion, the count of input wide-characters) is converted to a

type appropriate to the conversion wide-character. If the

input item is not a matching sequence, the execution of the conversion specification fails; this condition is a matching failure. Unless assignment suppression was indicated by a *, the result of the conversion is placed in the object pointed to by the first argument following the format argument that

has not already received a conversion result if the conver-

sion specification is introduced by %, or in the nth argu-

ment if introduced by the wide-character sequence %n$. If

this object does not have an appropriate type, or if the result of the conversion cannot be represented in the space provided, the behavior is undefined. The length modifiers and their meanings are: hh Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, X, or n conversion specifier applies to an argument with type pointer to signed char or unsigned char. h Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, X, or n conversion specifier applies to an argument with type pointer to short or unsigned short. l (ell) Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, X, or n conversion specifier applies to an argument with type pointer to long or

SunOS 5.11 Last change: 10 Jul 2008 4

Standard C Library Functions fwscanf(3C) unsigned long; that a following a, A, e, E, f, F, g, or G conversion specifier applies to an argument with type pointer to double; or that a following c, s, or [ conversion specifier applies to an argument with type

pointer to wchar_t.

ll (ell-ell) Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, X,

or n conversion specifier applies to an argument with type pointer to long long or unsigned long long. j Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, X, or n conversion specifier applies to an

argument with type pointer to intmax_t or

uintmax_t.

z Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, X, or n conversion specifier applies to an

argument with type pointer to size_t or the

corresponding signed integer type. t Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, X, or n conversion specifier applies to an

argument with type pointer to ptrdiff_t or

the corresponding unsigned type. L Specifies that a following a, A, e, E, f, F, g, or G conversion specifier applies to an argument with type pointer to long double. If a length modifier appears with any conversion specifier other than as specified above, the behavior is undefined.

The following conversion wide-characters are valid:

d Matches an optionally signed decimal integer,

whose format is the same as expected for the sub-

ject sequence of wcstol(3C) with the value 10 for the base argument. In the absence of a size modifier, the corresponding argument must be a pointer to int.

i Matches an optionally signed integer, whose for-

mat is the same as expected for the subject

sequence of wcstol(3C) with 0 for the base argu-

ment. In the absence of a size modifier, the corresponding argument must be a pointer to int. o Matches an optionally signed octal integer, whose format is the same as expected for the subject sequence of wcstoul(3C) with the value 8 for the base argument. In the absence of a size modifier, the corresponding argument must be a pointer to unsigned int. u Matches an optionally signed decimal integer,

whose format is the same as expected for the sub-

ject sequence of wcstoul(3C) with the value 10 for the base argument. In the absence of a size modifier, the corresponding argument must be a pointer to unsigned int. x Matches an optionally signed hexadecimal integer,

whose format is the same as expected for the sub-

ject sequence of wcstoul(3C) with the value 16 for the base argument. In the absence of a size modifier, the corresponding argument must be a pointer to unsigned int.

a,e,f,g Matches an optionally signed floating-point

number, whose format is the same as expected for the subject sequence of wcstod(3C). In the absence of a size modifier, the corresponding argument must be a pointer to float. The e, f, and g specifiers match hexadecimal floating point

values only in C99/SUSv3 (see standards(5)) mode, but the a specifier always matches hexadecimal floating point values. These conversion specifiers match any subject sequence accepted by strtod(3C), including the

INF, INFINITY, NAN, and NAN(n-char-sequence)

forms. The result of the conversion is the same as that of calling strtod() (or strtof() or strtold()) with the matching sequence, including the raising of floating point exceptions and the setting of errno to ERANGE, if applicable.

s Matches a sequence of non white-space wide-

characters. If no l (ell) qualifier is present, characters from the input field are converted as if by repeated calls to the wcrtomb(3C) function, with the conversion state described by an

mbstate_t object initialized to zero before the

first wide-character is converted. The

corresponding argument must be a pointer to a character array large enough to accept the sequence and the terminating null character, which will be added automatically. Otherwise, the corresponding argument must be a

pointer to an array of wchar_t large enough to

accept the sequence and the terminating null

wide-character, which will be added automati-

cally.

[ Matches a non-empty sequence of wide-characters

from a set of expected wide-characters (the scan-

set). If no l (ell) qualifier is present, wide-

characters from the input field are converted as if by repeated calls to the wcrtomb() function, with the conversion state described by an

mbstate_t object initialized to zero before the

first wide-character is converted. The

corresponding argument must be a pointer to a character array large enough to accept the sequence and the terminating null character, which will be added automatically. If an l (ell) qualifier is present, the corresponding argument must be a pointer to an

array of wchar_t large enough to accept the

sequence and the terminating null wide-

character, which will be added automatically.

The conversion specification includes all subse-

quent widw characters in the format string up to and including the matching right square bracket

(]). The wide-characters between the square

brackets (the scanlist) comprise the scanset,

unless the wide-character after the left square

bracket is a circumflex (^), in which case the

scanset contains all wide-characters that do not

appear in the scanlist between the circumflex and the right square bracket. If the conversion specification begins with [] or [^], the right square bracket is included in the scanlist and the next right square bracket is the matching right square bracket that ends the conversion

SunOS 5.11 Last change: 10 Jul 2008 7

Standard C Library Functions fwscanf(3C) specification; otherwise the first right square bracket is the one that ends the conversion

specification. If a minus-sign (-) is in the

scanlist and is not the first wide-character, nor

the second where the first wide-character is a ^,

nor the last wide-character, it indicates a range

of characters to be matched.

c Matches a sequence of wide-characters of the

number specified by the field width (1 if no

field width is present in the conversion specifi-

cation). If no l (ell) qualifier is present,

wide-characters from the input field are con-

verted as if by repeated calls to the wcrtomb() function, with the conversion state described by

an mbstate_t object initialized to zero before

the first wide-character is converted. The

corresponding argument must be a pointer to a character array large enough to accept the sequence. No null character is added. Otherwise, the corresponding argument must be a

pointer to an array of wchar_t large enough to

accept the sequence. No null wide-character is

added. p Matches the set of sequences that is the same as

the set of sequences that is produced by the %p

conversion of the corresponding fwprintf(3C) functions. The corresponding argument must be a pointer to a pointer to void. If the input item

is a value converted earlier during the same pro-

gram execution, the pointer that results will compare equal to that value; otherwise the

behavior of the %p conversion is undefined.

n No input is consumed. The corresponding argument must be a pointer to the integer into which is to

be written the number of wide-characters read

from the input so far by this call to the

fwscanf() functions. Execution of a %n conversion

specification does not increment the assignment count returned at the completion of execution of the function. C Same as lc.

SunOS 5.11 Last change: 10 Jul 2008 8

Standard C Library Functions fwscanf(3C) S Same as ls.

% Matches a single %; no conversion or assignment

occurs. The complete conversion specification

must be %%.

If a conversion specification is invalid, the behavior is undefined. The conversion characters A, E, F, G, and X are also valid and behave the same as, respectively, a, e, f, g, and x.

If end-of-file is encountered during input, conversion is

terminated. If end-of-file occurs before any wide-characters

matching the current conversion specification (except for

%n) have been read (other than leading white-space, where

permitted), execution of the current conversion specifica-

tion terminates with an input failure. Otherwise, unless

execution of the current conversion specification is ter-

minated with a matching failure, execution of the following conversion specification (if any) is terminated with an input failure. Reaching the end of the string in swscanf() is equivalent to

encountering end-of-file for fwscanf().

If conversion terminates on a conflicting input, the offend-

ing input is left unread in the input. Any trailing white space (including newline) is left unread unless matched by a conversion specification. The success of literal matches and suppressed assignments is only directly determinable via the

%n conversion specification.

The fwscanf() and wscanf() functions may mark the st_atime

field of the file associated with stream for update. The

st_atime field will be marked for update by the first suc-

cessful execution of fgetc(3C), fgetwc(3C), fgets(3C), fgetws(3C), fread(3C), getc(3C), getwc(3C), getchar(3C), getwchar(3C), gets(3C), fscanf(3C) or fwscanf() using stream that returns data not supplied by a prior call to ungetc(3C).

RETURN VALUES

SunOS 5.11 Last change: 10 Jul 2008 9

Standard C Library Functions fwscanf(3C) Upon successful completion, these functions return the number of successfully matched and assigned input items; this number can be 0 in the event of an early matching failure. If the input ends before the first matching failure or conversion, EOF is returned. If a read error occurs the error indicator for the stream is set, EOF is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

For the conditions under which the fwscanf() functions will fail and may fail, refer to fgetwc(3C). In addition, fwscanf() may fail if:

EILSEQ Input byte sequence does not form a valid charac-

ter. EINVAL There are insufficient arguments.

USAGE

In format strings containing the % form of conversion

specifications, each argument in the argument list is used exactly once.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 wscanf() example The call: int i, n; float x; char name[50];

n = wscanf(L"%d%f%s", &i, &x, name);

with the input line:

25 54.32E-1 Hamster

will assign to n the value 3, to i the value 25, to x the value 5.432, and name will contain the string Hamster.

(void) wscanf(L"%2d%f%*d %[0123456789], &i, &x, name);

with input: 56789 0123 56a72 will assign 56 to i, 789.0 to x, skip 0123, and place the string 56\0 in name. The next call to getchar(3C) will return the character a.
