<div class="info">
The type of scanning buffers. A scanning buffer is the source from which a
formatted input function gets characters. The scanning buffer holds the
current state of the scan, plus a function to get the next char from the
input, and a token buffer to store the string matched so far.
<p>
Note: a scanning action may often require to examine one character in
advance; when this ``lookahead'' character does not belong to the token
read, it is stored back in the scanning buffer and becomes the next
character read.<br>
</div>
<pre><span id="VALstdin"><span class="keyword">val</span> stdin</span> : <code class="type"><a href="Scanf.Scanning.html#TYPEin_channel">in_channel</a></code></pre><div class="info">
The standard input notion for the module <code class="code"><span class="constructor">Scanf</span></code>.
<code class="code">stdin</code> is equivalent to <code class="code"><span class="constructor">Scanning</span>.from_channel <span class="constructor">Pervasives</span>.stdin</code>.
<p>
Note: when input is read interactively from <code class="code">stdin</code>, the newline character
that triggers the evaluation is incorporated in the input; thus, scanning
specifications must properly skip this character (simply add a <code class="code"><span class="string">'\n'</span></code>
as the last character of the format string).<br>
