/*
Program Code	Action
scanf( "%Ns", &x );	Read a string into near memory
scanf( "%Fs", &x );	Read a string into far memory
scanf( "%Nd", &x );	Read an int into near memory
scanf( "%Fd", &x );	Read an int into far memory
scanf( "%Nld", &x );	Read a long int into near memory
scanf( "%Fld", &x );	Read a long int into far memory
scanf( "%Nhp", &x );	Read a 16-bit pointer into near memory
scanf( "%Nlp", &x );	Read a 32-bit pointer into near memory
scanf( "%Fhp", &x );	Read a 16-bit pointer into far memory
scanf( "%Flp", &x );	Read a 32-bit pointer into far memory
Note that %[a-z] and %[z-a] are interpreted as equivalent to %[abcde...z]. This is a common scanf extension, but note that it is not required by the ANSI standard.
To store a string without storing a terminating null character ('\0'), use the specification %nc, where n is a decimal integer. In this case, the c type character indicates that the argument is a pointer to a character array. The next n characters are read from the input stream into the specified location, and no null character ('\0') is appended. If n is not specified, the default value for it is 1.
