<H1 class="no-header">curs_scanw 3x</H1>
The <STRONG>vwscanw</STRONG> and <STRONG>vw_scanw</STRONG> routines are analogous to <STRONG>vscanf(3)</STRONG>. They
perform a <STRONG>wscanw</STRONG> using a variable argument list. The third argument is
- a <EM>va</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>list</EM>, a pointer to a list of arguments, as defined in <STRONG><stdarg.h></STRONG>.
+ a <STRONG>va_list</STRONG>, a pointer to a list of arguments, as defined in <STRONG><stdarg.h></STRONG>.

be output from <STRONG>scanf(3)</STRONG> would instead be output using <STRONG>waddstr</STRONG> on the
given window. SVr3 also added <STRONG>vwscanw</STRONG>, saying that the third parameter
is a <STRONG>va_list</STRONG>, defined in <varargs.h>, and referring the reader to the
- manual pages for <EM>varargs</EM> and <EM>vprintf</EM> for detailed descriptions.
- (Because the SVr3 documentation does not mention <EM>vscanf</EM>, that reference
- to <EM>vprintf</EM> may not be an error).

SVr4 added no new variations of <STRONG>scanw</STRONG>, but provided for using
<varargs.h> or <stdarg.h> to define the <STRONG>va_list</STRONG> type.
