+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIvscanf\fP(), \fIvfscanf\fP(), and \fIvsscanf\fP() functions
+shall be equivalent to the \fIscanf\fP(), \fIfscanf\fP(), and \fIsscanf\fP()
+functions, respectively, except that instead of being called with
+a variable number
+of arguments, they are called with an argument list as defined in
+the \fI<stdarg.h>\fP header. These functions shall not invoke the
+\fIva_end\fP macro. As these
+functions invoke the \fIva_arg\fP macro, the value of \fIap\fP after
+the return is unspecified.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Refer to \fIfscanf\fP() .
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+Refer to \fIfscanf\fP() .
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+Applications using these functions should call \fIva_end\fP( \fIap\fP)
+afterwards to clean up.
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
