At some point, it'd be good to make sscanf use __must_check
so make sure the net/ uses of sscanf use the return value.

Isn't it much safer to avoid sscanf() completely and use
a different function for converting numerics?

It's generally better to use something other than sscanf.
That doesn't mean sscanf isn't useful.
