Note that the printf(3) and scanf(3) family of functions don't deal with

C99 standardised the vscanf() family of functions, update Standards

Consistently mark std(in|out|err) with .Dv, because that's how they

Implement several of the c99 updates to scanf(3):

2002-04-20T17:00:56+00:00

 - New length modifiers: hh, j, ll, t, z.

Still to do:
 - %C, %S, %lc, %ls (wide character support)
 - %a/%A (exact hex representation of floating-point numbers)

Removed old compatability equivalents:
 - %D for %ld, %O for %lo, %X for %lx, %E and %F for %le & %lf (these
   were buggy anyway, since they should have represented %Le & %Lf).
 - %[unknown uppercase char] for %ld, %[unknown lowercase char] for %d
