I'd say make it '%s-%llu'. The brackets don't carry any information.
And ':' forces quoting with recent coreutils.

sscanf is banned from lookup code due to lax whitespace rules.
See

	commit ac7f1061c2c11bb8936b1b6a94cdb48de732f7a4
	proc: fix /proc/*/map_files lookup

Of course someone sneaked in 1 instance, yikes.

	$ grep -e scanf -n -r fs/proc/
	fs/proc/base.c:1596:            err = sscanf(pos, "%9s %lld %lu", clock,

[] -- no need.
