The scanf() function is equivalent to fscanf() except that scanf() takes the
input from the standard input device.
format Points to the format control string. For more information,
see fscanf on page 3-56.
... Arguments 1 through n point to variables where input is
stored.
This function returns EOF and sets errno if an input failure occurs before any
conversion. Otherwise, it returns the number of input items assigned, which can be
fewer than provided, even zero, in the event of an early matching failure.
