Joern Heissler 93c2e06972 scanf.3: Improve description of %n specifier 
The fscanf manpage contains this:

   n   Nothing is expected; instead, the number  of  characters
       consumed  thus  far from the input is stored through the
       next pointer, which must be a pointer to int.   This  is
       not a conversion, although it can be suppressed with the
       *  assignment-suppression  character.   The  C  standard
       says:  "Execution  of  a %n directive does not increment
       the assignment count returned at the completion of  exe‐
       cution"  but  the  Corrigendum seems to contradict this.
       Probably it is wise not to make any assumptions  on  the
       effect of %n conversions on the return value.

posix manpages; all say that %n does *not* increase the counter.
%*n causes undefined behaviour according to c99+tc3.  I wasn't
able to find proof that any Corrigendum says otherwise.
Therefore I think it's safe to say that you can indeed make the
assumption that %n does not affect the return value.
