Description:
------------
Is fscanf really just sscanf(fgets(), ... so that one can not call it multiple times to scan the parts of a possibly varying line as is possible using fscanf in other languages? Nothing in the official documentation says that it works on whole lines.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

"Each call to fscanf() reads one line from the file."
