       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
       ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here
       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008
       defers to the ISO C standard.

       The _v_s_c_a_n_f(), _v_f_s_c_a_n_f(), and _v_s_s_c_a_n_f() functions shall be equivalent to
       the _s_c_a_n_f(), _f_s_c_a_n_f(), and _s_s_c_a_n_f() functions, respectively, except
       that instead of being called with a variable number of arguments, they
       are called with an argument list as defined in the _<_s_t_d_a_r_g_._h_> header.
       These functions shall not invoke the _v_a___e_n_d macro. As these functions
       invoke the _v_a___a_r_g macro, the value of _a_p after the return is
       unspecified.
