Scanf

The C library routine that reads data from the standard input {stream} stdin into the locations given by each entry in its argument list.

The first argument is a format string which controls interpretation of the input and each subsequent argument points to a variable with a type that corresponds to a type specifier in the format-string.

Unix manual page: scanf(3).
