The vfwscanf function is equivalent to the fwscanf function, except that instead of being called with a variable number of arguments, it is called with an argument list (ap) that has been initialized by va_start (and possibly with subsequent va_arg calls). If the stream pointed to by stream has no orientation, vfwscanf makes the stream wide-oriented. For more information about format and conversion specifications and their corresponding arguments, see the "Understanding Input and Output" chapter of the HP C RTL Reference Manual.
