Is there any _sane_ reason for sscanf to do anything else, then to call strtol (and the rest of strto* stuff)? AFAICS they are designed to be suitable as sscanf helpers. Now, I just looked at kernel vsprintf implementation. It *DOES HAVE* these helpers. They are caled simple_strto*. They don't skip leading white space, thus the simple_ prefix. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Jan Hudec `Bulb' <bulb@ucw.cz> -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
