NAME
     fscanf_l, scanf_l, sscanf_l, vfscanf_l, vscanf_l, vsscanf_l -- input format conversion

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <xlocale.h>

     int
     fscanf_l(FILE * restrict stream, locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, ...);

     int
     scanf_l(locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, ...);

     int
     sscanf_l(const char * restrict str, locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, ...);

     #include <stdarg.h>
     #include <xlocale.h>

     int
     vfscanf_l(FILE * restrict stream, locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, va_list ap);

     int
     vscanf_l(locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, va_list ap);

     int
     vsscanf_l(const char * restrict str, locale_t loc, const char * restrict format, va_list ap);

DESCRIPTION
     The scanf_l(), fscanf_l(), sscanf_l(), vscanf_l(), vsscanf_l(), and vfscanf_l() functions are extended
     locale versions of the scanf(), fscanf(), sscanf(), vscanf(), vsscanf(), and vfscanf() functions,
     respectively.  Refer to their manual pages for details.  Also, see xlocale(3) for more information
     about extended locales.
