The vsscanf function is the same as the sscanf function except that instead of being called with a variable number of arguments, it is called with an argument list that has been initialized by va_start (and possibly with subsequent va_arg calls). The vsscanf function is also equivalent to the vfscanf function, except that the first argument specifies a wide-character string rather than a stream. Reaching the end of the wide-character string is the same as encountering EOF for the vfscanf function. For more information about format and conversion specifications and their corresponding arguments, see the "Understanding Input and Output" chapter of the VSI C RTL Reference Manual. See also vsscanf and sscanf.
