They aren't implemented. Sony implemented only the parts of the C
standard library which seemed important, and the 'scanf' family is
mostly used for input parsing, which is much less common on the Yaroze
than on most hosts since the Yaroze has no stdin stream and no
keyboard. So you'll have to write your own tokenising functions.
(Lucky they implemented strtok, really :=)
