[Drbd-dev] [PATCH] Correctly skip interface indexes larger than 256

[Dirk Tilger <dirk@systemication.com>]

fscanf line probably copied from kernel printf, but printf specifies the
minimal field widwth and scanf the maximal field width.

printf (3) manual:

> Each conversion specification is introduced by the character %, and ends with
> a conversion specifier. In between there may be (in this order) zero or more
> flags, an optional minimum field width, an optional precision and an optional
> length modifier.

fscanf manual:

> Each conversion specification in format begins with either the character '%'
> or the character sequence "%n$" (see below for the distinction) followed by:
>
> * An optional '*' assignment-suppression character: scanf() reads input as
>   directed by the conversion specification, but discards the input. No
>   corresponding pointer argument is required, and this specification is not
>   included in the count of successful assignments returned by scanf().

[...]

> * An optional decimal integer which specifies the maximum field width.
>   Reading of characters stops either when this maximum is reached or when a
>   nonmatching character is found, whichever happens first. Most conversions
>   discard initial white space characters (the exceptions are noted below),
>   and these discarded characters don't count toward the maximum field width.
>   String input conversions store a terminating null byte ('\0') to mark the
>   end of the input; the maximum field width does not include this terminator.
