SWSCANF(3P)

🦋 PROLOG 🦋

okay so bestie, real talk before we even start: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. and like… the Linux implementation of this interface may differ 👀 (so pls consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or honestly? the interface may not even be implemented on Linux at all. vibe check: check your platform first, i'm begging 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

swscanf — convert formatted wide-character input 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>

int swscanf(const wchar_t *restrict ws,
    const wchar_t *restrict format, ...);

like yes, that's the whole thing. restrict twice, variadic args, iconic behavior 💖

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Refer to fwscanf(). periodt. that's it, that's the description 😭

like literally the entire description is "go read fwscanf()" — she's minimal, she's mysterious, she's lowkey gatekeeping. so if you want the actual deets on conversion specs and all that, fwscanf() is your girl. slay.
