HELPLIB.HLB  —  CRTL  fwscanf
    Reads input from the stream under control of the wide-character
    format string.

    Format

      #include  <wchar.h>

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

1  –  Arguments

 stream

    A file pointer.

 format

    A pointer to a wide-character string containing the format
    specification.

  . . .

    Optional expressions whose results correspond to conversion
    specifications given in the format specification.

    If no conversion specifications are given, you can omit the input
    pointers. Otherwise, the function calls must have exactly as
    many input pointers as there are conversion specifications, and
    the conversion specifications must match the types of the input
    pointers.

    Conversion specifications are matched to input sources in left-
    to-right order. Excess input pointers, if any, are ignored.

2  –  Description

    The fwscanf function reads input from the stream pointed to by
    stream under the control of the wide-character string pointed
    to by format. If there are insufficient arguments for the
    format, the behavior is undefined. If the format is exhausted
    while arguments remain, the excess arguments are evaluated, but
    otherwise ignored.

    The format is composed of zero or more directives that include:

    o  One or more white-space wide characters.

    o  An ordinary wide character (neither a percent (%))  nor a
       white-space wide character).

    o  Conversion specifications.

    Each conversion specification is introduced by the wide character
    %.

    If the stream pointed to by the stream argument has no
    orientation, fwscanf makes the stream wide-oriented.

3  –  Return Values

    n                  The number of input items assigned, sometimes
                       fewer than provided for, or even zero, in the
                       event of an early matching failure.
    EOF                Indicates an error; input failure occurs
                       before any conversion.
