            Bug ID: 61511
           Summary: scanf man page is misleading re out-of-range integer
                    conversions
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org
          Reporter: arequipeno-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org
        Regression: No

Unless I'm missing it, the scanf man page doesn't really specifically address
the result of an out-of-range integer conversion -- e.g.
sscanf("9999999999999999999999999999999", "%d", &i).

The ERRORS section, however, says this:

 ERANGE The result of an integer conversion would exceed the size that
              can be stored in the corresponding integer type.

This is definitely *not* the behavior that I'm seeing.  Instead, sscanf is
returning 1 and -1 is assigned to i.
