sscanf does not properly check content after int match. about lpc-doc

That's how it is in LPmud, so that's how it has to be in DGD to be compatible. Only for %s does the part after the match matter. With %d, %f or %c you have a match up to the end of the number/float/character, and then no match for the part that comes after.

If you do care about the part that comes after, do it like this:
if (sscanf("1 hellp", "%d hello%*s", d) != 2) no_match();

That's cool. I guess this particular feature of sscanf should be noted in the doc. On Viking Mud our doc, which I believe comes from DGD, states in kfun/sscanf:

"Other characters must be matched exactly."

Good point. I'll update the documentation.
