       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.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  vscanf(),  vfscanf(),  and  vsscanf()  functions  shall  be equivalent to the scanf(), fscanf(), and
       sscanf() 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 <stdarg.h> header. These functions
       shall not invoke the va_end macro. As these functions invoke the va_arg macro, the value of ap after  the
       return is unspecified.

       Refer to fscanf().
