  38  * Use
  39  *  vsscanf() should be an alternative entry point for sscanf().
  40  *  Unfortunately, it doesn't exist, so it has been reimplemented.  It is as
  41  *  compatible with sscanf() as I can make it.  It supports all features of
  42  *  the original, including scansets and things.
  43  *
  44  * Parameters
  45  *  char *string == the string to parse
  46  *  char *format == the format string
  47  *  va_list ap == pointer to variable length parameters list.  If there are
  48  *    too many arguments, they are ignored.  If there are too few, the
  49  *    machine will problably crash.
  50  *
  51  * Returns
  52  *  The number of arguments assigned with values.
