I know what you mean, I just don't know usage for it.

Well... I don't see much usage for scanf() either. You still need to
validate the input.
If you do scanf for example hex, you can still give input which is not in
hex format and scanf will happily accept it (and do weird things with it).

So, you can as well read it as raw binary and handle it as needed.

But maybe this is just due my limited knowledge.
