  scanf
       
          The {C} library routine that reads data from the {standard
          input} {stream} {stdin} into the locations given by each entry
          in its argument list.  The first argument is a format string
          which controls interpretation of the input and each subsequent


          argument points to a variable with a type that corresponds to
          a type specifier in the format-string.
       
          {Unix manual page}: scanf(3).
