The most common way you’ll see it used is within a command processor (like ZCMD or Pawn.CMD):
Since sscanf2 is not a standard C/C++ function, this guide defines it as an that adds safety, dynamic allocation, and better error handling. I'll structure it like real documentation.
| Feature | sscanf | sscanf2 | |---------|----------|------------| | Buffer overflow protection | ❌ Manual | ✅ Automatic if using %as | | Dynamic string allocation | ❌ | ✅ ( %as , %a[] ) | | Width specification | ✅ | ✅ (enhanced) | | Error diagnostics | Poor | Clear return codes + sscanf2_strerror() | | Supports %ms (POSIX) | Only on some platforms | ✅ Always available | | Hex/binary scanning | Basic | Extended ( %b for binary, %r for raw) |
Sometimes you want a parameter to be optional. You can use the I (capital i) or D specifiers to set a default value if the user leaves it blank.
