In the context of getting my head around the many and various forms of
scanf, James Kuyper informed me that there were several forms of it of
which I was unaware, and Nick advised me to get a Harbison and Steele as a
reference.
It's kind of a good news/bad news thing. I was motivated to look through
my old texts and I found H&S: copyrighted 1984. The only material that
deals with *scanf is § 17.8. I see no references between §17.8 and §13.4,
which discusses vararg and stdarg, where the discussion is marked by ansi
proposals.
Is this H&S too out of date to help me understand the taxonomy of *scanf,
and if so, are there parts of it that are still good? I took Chuck's
advise and began burning my books, based on lack of relevance to
contemporary C. I must say I'm enjoying _The Presidential Papers_ and _The
Best of William Buckley_ as btu's and reading light from my woodburner.
