MSL C Reference, stdio.h

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	int i;
	unsigned int j;
	char c;
	char s[40];
	double x;
	
	printf("Enter an integer surrounded by ! marks\n");
	scanf("!%d!", &i);
	printf("Enter three integers\n");
	printf("in hexadecimal, octal, or decimal.\n");
	// note that 3 integers are read, but only the last two
	// are assigned to i and j
	scanf("%*i %i %ui", &i, &j);

	printf("Enter a character and a character string.\n");
	scanf("%c %10s", &c, s);

	printf("Enter a floating point value.\n");
	scanf("%lf", &x);

	return 0;
}
Output:
Enter an integer surrounded by ! marks
!94!
Enter three integers
in hexadecimal, octal, or decimal.
1A 6 24
Enter a character and a character string.
Enter a floating point value.
A
Sounds like 'works'!

Example of AltiVec Scanf Extensions:
#include <stdio.h> 

int main(void)
{
	vector signed char v8, vs8;
	vector unsigned short v16;
	vector signed long v32;
	vector float vf32;

	sscanf("1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16", "%vd", &v8);
	sscanf("1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16", "%,vd", &vs8);
	sscanf("abcdefgh", "%vhc", &v16);
	sscanf("1, 4, 300, 400", "%,3lvd", &v32);
	sscanf("1.10, 2.22, 3.333, 4.4444", "%,5vf", &vf32);
	
	return 0;
}
The Result is: 
v8  = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16;
vs8 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16;
v16 = 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h'
v32 =  1, 4, 300, 400
vf32 = 1.1000, 2.2200, 3.3330, 4.4444

Modifier	Description
	Length Specifiers
hh	The `hh` flag indicates that the following `d, i, o, u, x, X` or `n` conversion specifier applies to an argument that is of type `char` or `unsigned char.`
h	The `h` flag indicates that the following `d, i, o, u, x, X` or `n` conversion specifier applies to an argument that is of type `short int` or `unsigned short int.`
l	When used with integer conversion specifier, the l flag indicates long int or an unsigned long int type. When used with floating point conversion specifier, the l flag indicates a double. When used with a `c` or `s` conversion specifier, the `l` flag indicates that the corresponding argument with type pointer to `wchar_t.`
ll	When used with integer conversion specifier, the ll flag indicates that the corresponding argument is of type long long or an unsigned long long.
L	The L flag indicates that the corresponding float conversion specifier corresponds to an argument of type long double.
v	AltiVec: `A vector bool char, vector signed char or vector unsigned char` when followed by `c, d, i, o, u, x or X` A vector float, when followed by `f..`
vh hv	AltiVec: `vector short, vector unisgned short, vector bool short or vector pixel` when followed by `c, d, i, o, u, x or X`
vl lv	AltiVec: `vector long, vector unsigned long or vector bool` when followed by `c, d, i, o, u, x or X`
	Conversion Sepcifiers
d	A decimal integer is read.
i	A decimal, octal, or hexadecimal integer is read. The integer can be prefixed with a plus or minus sign (+, -), 0 for octal numbers, 0x or 0X for hexadecimal numbers.
o	An octal integer is read.
u	An unsigned decimal integer is read.
x, X	A hexadecimal integer is read.
e, E, f, g, G	A floating point number is read. The number can be in plain decimal format (e.g. 3456.483) or in scientific notation ([-]b.aaae±dd).
s	A character string is read. The input character string is considered terminated when a white space character is reached or the maximum width has been reached. The null character is appended to the end of the array.
c	A character is read. White space characters are not skipped, but read using this conversion specifier..
p	A pointer address is read. The input format should be the same as that output by the p conversion type in printf().
n	This conversion type does not read from the input stream but stores the number of characters read in its corresponding argument.
[scanset]	Input stream characters are read and filtered determined by the `scanset`. See `"Scanset,"` for a full description.
