wsscanf - formatted input conversion
#include <stdio.h>
#include <widec.h>
int wsscanf(wchar_t *s, const char *format, /* pointer */ ... );
The wsscanf() function reads Process Code characters from the Process
Code string s, interprets them according to the format, and stores
the results in its arguments. It expects, as arguments, a control
string format, and a set of pointer arguments indicating where the
converted input should be stored. The results are undefined if there
are insufficient args for the format. If the format is exhausted
while args remain, the excess args are simply ignored.
The conversion specifications and behavior of wsscanf() are the same
as the regular sscanf(3C) function except that the source is a
Process Code string for wsscanf() and on Extended Unix Code (EUC)
character string for sscanf(3C).
Upon successful completion, wsscanf() returns the number of
characters matched. Otherwise, it returns a negative value.

NAME
wsscanf - formatted input conversion
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
#include <widec.h>
int wsscanf(wchar_t *s, const char *format, /* pointer */ ... );
DESCRIPTION
The wsscanf() function reads Process Code characters from the Process
Code string s, interprets them according to the format, and stores
the results in its arguments. It expects, as arguments, a control
string format, and a set of pointer arguments indicating where the
converted input should be stored. The results are undefined if there
are insufficient args for the format. If the format is exhausted
while args remain, the excess args are simply ignored.
The conversion specifications and behavior of wsscanf() are the same
as the regular sscanf(3C) function except that the source is a
Process Code string for wsscanf() and on Extended Unix Code (EUC)
character string for sscanf(3C).
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, wsscanf() returns the number of
characters matched. Otherwise, it returns a negative value.
