Format string confusion in fscanf function in C

Question

I'm unable to understand below this line , could somebody tell me what it does ?

fscanf(file_pointer, "%*[^\n]");

Answer 1

From the docs one might see, that:

* - assignment-suppressing character which is used not to assign the value being read to any receiveing argument of fscanf.

[^\n] - conversion specifier which matches any symbol except (^) new line (\n).

As a result, this fscanf reads all symbols until new line is met.
