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

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);

Overview

The above functions scan input according to a specified format in the locale loc. They behave in the same way as the versions without the _l suffix, but use the specific locale rather than the global or per-thread locale. See the specific manual pages for more information.
