\fBwgetstr\fR were called on the window, and the resulting line used as input
55

for \fBsscanf\fR(3).  Fields which do not map to a variable in the \fIfmt\fR
56

The \fBvwscanw\fR and \fBvw_scanw\fR routines are analogous to \fBvscanf\fR.
59
59
They perform a \fBwscanw\fR using a variable argument list.
60
60
The third argument is a \fIva_list\fR,
62
62
.SH RETURN VALUE
63
63
\fBvwscanw\fR returns \fBERR\fR on failure and an integer equal to the
64
64
number of fields scanned on success.

Applications may use the return value from the \fBscanw\fR, \fBwscanw\fR,
67
67
\fBmvscanw\fR and \fBmvwscanw\fR routines to determine the number of fields
68
68
which were mapped in the call.
