[...] This is incorrect in case a read failure occurs before the first receiving argument. cppreference reads as (suggested change): [...] Return value Number of receiving arguments successfully assigned, or EOF if read failure occurs before the first receiving argument was assigned. [...] ref: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/c/fscanf example: [...] int i; int n = sscanf( "ABC", "ABCD%d", &i ); // n -> EOF [...]
