<p>The notion of input channel for the <a href="Scanf.html"><code class="code"><span class="constructor">Scanf</span></code></a> module:
those channels provide all the machinery necessary to read from any source
of characters, including a <a href="Pervasives.html#TYPEin_channel"><code class="code">in_channel</code></a> value.
A Scanf.Scanning.in_channel value is also called a <i>formatted input
channel</i> or equivalently a <i>scanning buffer</i>.
The type <a href="Scanf.Scanning.html#TYPEscanbuf"><code class="code"><span class="constructor">Scanf</span>.<span class="constructor">Scanning</span>.scanbuf</code></a> below is an alias for <code class="code"><span class="constructor">Scanning</span>.in_channel</code>.</p>

<div class="info-desc">
<p>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>
<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 yet to be read.</p>

<p>Note: in the interactive system, when input is read from
<a href="Pervasives.html#VALstdin"><code class="code">stdin</code></a>, the newline character that triggers evaluation is
part of the input; thus, the scanning specifications must properly skip
this additional newline character (for instance, simply add a <code class="code"><span class="string">'\n'</span></code> as
the last character of the format string).</p>
