sscanf manpages is much improved; thanks for that.  I note a missing
period:

  flex To include a close bracket in the set, make  it  the  first
     ^^^

Also, you might consider adding a (third) instance of "whichever
happens/occurs first":

  in) set or when the field width runs out.
                                          , whichever happens first.

Additionally, I would like to tweak the phrasing of the return value,
again.

       The value EOF is returned if the end of input  is  reached
       before  the first  successful  conversion  or matching failure
       occurs.  EOF is also

If I understand correctly:

EOF is returned if the end of input is reached before the first
sucessful onversion, or before a matching failure or occurs.
                       ^^^^^^^^

Without this word, it isn't clear that all matching failures won't
return EOF.  This is not what happens; a matching failure results in
returning with a value smaller than than count of requested
assignments.
