C : How to use cscanf

[Gavyn]

Hello, I am studying in the first year of the Bsc(IT). I have the knowledge about the C language. I know about the cscanf function of the C language. But I don't heard about the cscanf. I would like to know about the cscanf function. I would also like to know about the what is the purpose of the cscanf and how cscanf can be used in the program. So, If anyone has knows about cscanf then then post me reply as soon as possible. Please reply me!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, Avoiding buffering both by library and by the DOS, cscanf function directly reads from the standard input device. Under the control of the argument format the cscanf() function scans input from the console. Following the format string is a list of addresses to receive values. This cscanf() function can uses the getche() function from the console to read characters. Under the description of the scanf() function, the format string can be described. I hope you understand about cscanf function.

According to my knowledge of the cscanf() function, When the scanning can be comes to an end by reaching to the end of the input stream the cscanf() function can returns End Of File. Otherwise, the number of input arguments for which values were successfully scanned and stored is returned. The errno variable that is global variable may be set when a file input error can occurs. Syntax :
#include <conio.h>
int cscanf( const char *format, ... );

I suggest you to carefully see the following code of lines that can help you to know about the cscanf() function more easily and efficiently. To scan a date in the form " Sunday May 18 1988":
#include <conio.h>
void main()
{
int dy, yr;
char wkdy[10], mnth[12];
cscanf( "%s %s %d %d",
wkdy, mnth, &dy, &yr);
cprintf( "\n%s, %s %d, %d\n",
wkdy, mnth, dy, yr );
}

I think the, Programmers could use the different derivatives of scanf function that is depending upon the actual source of input. The cscanf is one of the scanf function. The cscanf() function derivative reads input from a character string passed as the first argument. The prototypes of the cscanf() function are as follows :
int cscanf (const char *str, const char *format, ...);
