what is this referring to? my scanf manual says
· An optional 'a' character. This is used with string conver‐
sions, and relieves the caller of the need to allocate a corre‐
sponding buffer to hold the input: instead, scanf() allocates a
buffer of sufficient size, and assigns the address of this buf‐
fer to the corresponding pointer argument, which should be a
pointer to a char * variable (this variable does not need to be
initialized before the call). The caller should subsequently
free(3) this buffer when it is no longer required. This is a
GNU extension; C99 employs the 'a' character as a conversion
specifier (and it can also be used as such in the GNU implemen‐
tation).
and I can't see anything about 'm'.
Cheers,
Julien
