|
|
<p>Each of the following functions is similar to the corresponding C library
|
|
function. The plain <code>scanf</code> forms take a variable argument list. The
|
|
<code>vscanf</code> forms take an argument pointer, see <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Variadic-Functions.html#Variadic-Functions">Variadic Functions</a> in <cite>The GNU C Library Reference Manual</cite>, or ‘<samp>man 3
|
|
va_start</samp>’.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>It should be emphasised that if a format string is invalid, or the arguments
|
|
don’t match what the format specifies, then the behaviour of any of these
|
|
functions will be unpredictable. GCC format string checking is not available,
|
|
since it doesn’t recognise the GMP extensions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>No overlap is permitted between the <var>fmt</var> string and any of the results
|
|
produced.

|
<p>The return value from each of these functions is the same as the standard C99
|
|
<code>scanf</code>, namely the number of fields successfully parsed and stored.
|
|
‘<samp>%n</samp>’ fields and fields read but suppressed by ‘<samp>*</samp>’ don’t count
|
|
towards the return value.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If end of input (or a file error) is reached before a character for a field or
|
|
a literal, and if no previous non-suppressed fields have matched, then the
|
|
return value is <code>EOF</code> instead of 0. A whitespace character in the format
|
|
string is only an optional match and doesn’t induce an <code>EOF</code> in this
|
|
fashion. Leading whitespace read and discarded for a field don’t count as
|
|
characters for that field.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For the GMP types, input parsing follows C99 rules, namely one character of
|
|
lookahead is used and characters are read while they continue to meet the
|
|
format requirements. If this doesn’t provide a complete number then the
|
|
function terminates, with that field not stored nor counted towards the return
|
|
value. For instance with <code>mpf_t</code> an input ‘<samp>1.23e-XYZ</samp>’ would be read
|
|
up to the ‘<samp>X</samp>’ and that character pushed back since it’s not a digit. The
|
|
string ‘<samp>1.23e-</samp>’ would then be considered invalid since an ‘<samp>e</samp>’ must
|
|
be followed by at least one digit.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For the standard C types, in the current implementation GMP calls the C
|
|
library <code>scanf</code> functions, which might have looser rules about what
|
|
constitutes a valid input.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Note that <code>gmp_sscanf</code> is the same as <code>gmp_fscanf</code> and only does one
|
|
character of lookahead when parsing. Although clearly it could look at its
|
|
entire input, it is deliberately made identical to <code>gmp_fscanf</code>, the same
|
|
way C99 <code>sscanf</code> is the same as <code>fscanf</code>.
