I call sscanf, but the compiler calls scanf instead!

The following codes show the problem.

#include <stdio.h>

void main() {
	char str[10];
	sscanf(str, "hello");
}

The call tree is:

OVERLAY MAP OF MODULE:   ssanfTst (MAIN)

?PR?GETCHAR?GETCHAR            -----    -----      -----    -----
  +--> ?PR?_GETKEY?_GETKEY
  +--> ?PR?PUTCHAR?PUTCHAR

Does compiler treat sscanf as a special case of scanf by setting a magic flag somewhere? That is, with the flag being set, the compiler, for example, doesn't call _getkey but read character directly from memory, right?
I'm looking for your help.
(Of course, the program shown above works correctly.)
