APPLICATION USAGE
After
scanf() or fscanf() is applied to a stream, the stream becomes byte-oriented (see orienta-
tion(5)).
WARNINGS
Trailing white space (including a newline) is left unread unless matched in the control string.
Truncation of multi-byte characters may occur if a field width is used with the conversion character.
