POSIX specification:@* @url{http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/vscanf.html}

Gnulib module: vscanf, nonblocking

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{vscanf}, together with module @code{nonblocking}:
@itemize
@item
When reading from a non-blocking pipe whose buffer is empty, this function
fails with @code{errno} being set to @code{EINVAL} instead of @code{EAGAIN} on
some platforms:
mingw, MSVC 14.
@end itemize

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
IRIX 6.5.
@item
On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does not set @code{errno}
upon failure.
@item
On Windows, these functions don't support the @code{hh}, @code{ll}, @code{j},
@code{t}, @code{z} size specifiers.
@end itemize
