scanf is a function. Therefore it must be used as a function. The
return value is the number of conversions successfully performed. For
example,
int y;
int x = scanf("%%d", &y);

As with most functions, your are also allowed to ignore (or discard)
the return value, as in
scanf("%%d",&y);

scanf() *is* a function supplied by a C hosted implementation (and
perhaps non-hosted ones as well). What do you want to do with it?

PL/Z is not C. I thought the Z80 processor was pretty obsolete by now.

scanf() _is_ a function. Perhaps be more elaborate with your question?

I think you need to try and ask this question again, because what you
are asking is not clear.

scanf() is a function, and you can use it the same two ways that you
can use any other function in C, you can call it or take its address.

So you need to use more words to explain what you want to know.
