scanf for Ruby is an implementation of the C function scanf(3), modified as necessary for Ruby compatibility.
As shipped, inclusion of the Scanf module provides the methods String#scanf, IO#scanf, and Kernel#scanf. Kernel#scanf is a wrapper around STDIN.scanf
Note: A subtle bug has been discovered in 1.1.1;
