fscanf_s, _fscanf_s_l, fwscanf_s, _fwscanf_s_l
Read formatted data from a stream. These are versions of fscanf, _fscanf_l, fwscanf, _fwscanf_l with security enhancements as described in Security Enhancements in the CRT.
int fscanf_s(
FILE *stream,
const char *format [,
argument ]...
);
int _fscanf_s_l(
FILE *stream,
const char *format,
locale_t locale [,
argument ]...
);
int fwscanf_s(
FILE *stream,
const wchar_t *format [,
argument ]...
);
int _fwscanf_s_l(
FILE *stream,
const wchar_t *format,
locale_t locale [,
argument ]...
);
Parameters
stream
Pointer to FILE structure.format
Format-control string.argument
Optional arguments.locale
The locale to use.
Return Value
Each of these functions returns the number of fields successfully converted and assigned; the return value does not include fields that were read but not assigned. A return value of 0 indicates that no fields were assigned. If an error occurs, or if the end of the file stream is reached before the first conversion, the return value is EOF for fscanf_s and fwscanf_s.
These functions validate their parameters. If stream is ian nvalid file pointer, or format is a null pointer, these functions invoke the invalid parameter handler, as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, these functions return EOF and set errno to EINVAL.
Remarks
The fscanf_s function reads data from the current position of stream into the locations given by argument (if any). Each argument must be a pointer to a variable of a type that corresponds to a type specifier in format. format controls the interpretation of the input fields and has the same form and function as the format argument for scanf_s; see Format Specification Fields – scanf functions and wscanf Functions for a description of format*.*fwscanf_s is a wide-character version of fscanf_s; the format argument to fwscanf_s is a wide-character string. These functions behave identically if the stream is opened in ANSI mode. fscanf_s doesn't currently support input from a UNICODE stream.
The main difference between the secure functions (with the _s suffix) and the older functions is that the secure functions require the size of each c, C, s, S and [ type field to be passed as an argument immediately following the variable. For more information, see scanf_s, _scanf_s_l, wscanf_s, _wscanf_s_l and scanf Width Specification.
Hinweis
The size parameter is of type unsigned, not size_t.
The versions of these functions with the _l suffix are identical except that they use the locale parameter passed in instead of the current thread locale.

Example
// crt_fscanf_s.c
// This program writes formatted
// data to a file. It then uses fscanf to
// read the various data back from the file.
#include <stdio.h>
FILE *stream;
int main( void )
{
long l;
float fp;
char s[81];
char c;
errno_t err = fopen_s( &stream, "fscanf.out", "w+" );
if( err )
printf_s( "The file fscanf.out was not opened\n" );
else
{
fprintf_s( stream, "%s %ld %f%c", "a-string",
65000, 3.14159, 'x' );
// Set pointer to beginning of file:
fseek( stream, 0L, SEEK_SET );
// Read data back from file:
fscanf_s( stream, "%s", s, 81 );
fscanf_s( stream, "%ld", &l );
fscanf_s( stream, "%f", &fp );
fscanf_s( stream, "%c", &c, 1 );
// Output data read:
printf( "%s\n", s );
printf( "%ld\n", l );
printf( "%f\n", fp );
printf( "%c\n", c );
fclose( stream );
