See man scanf. 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
