- This command parses fields from an input string in the same fashion as
- the ANSI C ssssssssccccaaaannnnffff procedure and returns a count of the number of |
- conversions performed, or -1 if the end of the input string is reached |
- before any conversions have been performed. _S_t_r_i_n_g gives the input to be
- parsed and _f_o_r_m_a_t indicates how to parse it, using %%%% conversion
- specifiers as in ssssssssccccaaaannnnffff. Each _v_a_r_N_a_m_e gives the name of a variable; when
- a field is scanned from _s_t_r_i_n_g the result is converted back into a string
- and assigned to the corresponding variable.

- SSSSccccaaaannnn operates by scanning _s_t_r_i_n_g and _f_o_r_m_a_t_S_t_r_i_n_g together. If the next
- character in _f_o_r_m_a_t_S_t_r_i_n_g is a blank or tab then it matches any number of
- white space characters in _s_t_r_i_n_g (including zero). Otherwise, if it
- isn't a %%%% character then it must match the next character of _s_t_r_i_n_g.
- When a %%%% is encountered in _f_o_r_m_a_t_S_t_r_i_n_g, it indicates the start of a
- conversion specifier. A conversion specifier contains three fields after
- the %%%%: a ****, which indicates that the converted value is to be discarded
- instead of assigned to a variable; a number indicating a maximum field
- width; and a conversion character. All of these fields are optional
- except for the conversion character.
-
- When ssssccccaaaannnn finds a conversion specifier in _f_o_r_m_a_t_S_t_r_i_n_g, it first skips
- any white-space characters in _s_t_r_i_n_g. Then it converts the next input
- characters according to the conversion specifier and stores the result in
- the variable given by the next argument to ssssccccaaaannnn. The following
- conversion characters are supported:
-
- dddd The input field must be a decimal integer. It is read in and
- the value is stored in the variable as a decimal string.
-
- oooo The input field must be an octal integer. It is read in and the
- value is stored in the variable as a decimal string.
-
- xxxx The input field must be a hexadecimal integer. It is read in
- and the value is stored in the variable as a decimal string.
-
- cccc A single character is read in and its binary value is stored in
- the variable as a decimal string. Initial white space is not
- skipped in this case, so the input field may be a white-space
- character. This conversion is different from the ANSI standard
- in that the input field always consists of a single character
- and no field width may be specified.

-
-
-
- ssss The input field consists of all the characters up to the next
- white-space character; the characters are copied to the
- variable.
-
- eeee or ffff or gggg
- The input field must be a floating-point number consisting of
- an optional sign, a string of decimal digits possibly
- containing a decimal point, and an optional exponent consisting
- of an eeee or EEEE followed by an optional sign and a string of
- decimal digits. It is read in and stored in the variable as a
- floating-point string.
-
- [[[[_c_h_a_r_s]]]] The input field consists of any number of characters in _c_h_a_r_s.
- The matching string is stored in the variable. If the first
- character between the brackets is a ]]]] then it is treated as
- part of _c_h_a_r_s rather than the closing bracket for the set.
-
- [[[[^^^^_c_h_a_r_s]]]] The input field consists of any number of characters not in
- _c_h_a_r_s. The matching string is stored in the variable. If the
- character immediately following the ^^^^ is a ]]]] then it is treated
- as part of the set rather than the closing bracket for the set.
-
- The number of characters read from the input for a conversion is the
- largest number that makes sense for that particular conversion (e.g. as
- many decimal digits as possible for %%%%dddd, as many octal digits as possible
- for %%%%oooo, and so on). The input field for a given conversion terminates
- either when a white-space character is encountered or when the maximum
- field width has been reached, whichever comes first. If a **** is present
- in the conversion specifier then no variable is assigned and the next
- scan argument is not consumed.

- The behavior of the ssssccccaaaannnn command is the same as the behavior of the ANSI
- C ssssssssccccaaaannnnffff procedure except for the following differences:
-
- [1] %%%%pppp and %%%%nnnn conversion specifiers are not currently supported. |
-
- [2] For %%%%cccc conversions a single character value is converted to a
- decimal string, which is then assigned to the corresponding _v_a_r_N_a_m_e;
- no field width may be specified for this conversion.
-
- [3] The llll, hhhh, and LLLL modifiers are ignored; integer values are always |
- converted as if there were no modifier present and real values are |
- always converted as if the llll modifier were present (i.e. type ddddoooouuuubbbblllleeee|
- is used for the internal representation).
