#include <inttypes.h>
The <inttypes.h> header includes the <stdint.h> header.
The <inttypes.h> header includes a definition of the following type: imaxdiv_t
structure type that is the type of the value returned by the imaxdiv() function.
The following macros are defined. Each expands to a character string literal containing a conversion specifier, possibly modified by a length modifier, suitable for use within the format argument of a formatted input/output function when converting the corresponding integer type. These macros have the general form of PRI (character string literals for the fprintf() and fwprintf() family of functions) or SCN (character string literals for the fscanf() and fwscanf() family of functions), followed by the conversion specifier, followed by a name corresponding to a similar type name in <stdint.h>. In these names, N represents the width of the type as described in <stdint.h>. For example, PRIdFAST32 can be used in a format string to print the value of an integer of type int_fast32_t.
The fprintf() macros for signed integers are:
PRIdN PRIdLEASTN PRIdFASTN PRIdMAX PRIdPTR PRIiN PRIiLEASTN PRIiFASTN PRIiMAX PRIiPTR
The fprintf() macros for unsigned integers are:
PRIoN PRIoLEASTN PRIoFASTN PRIoMAX PRIoPTR PRIuN PRIuLEASTN PRIuFASTN PRIuMAX PRIuPTR PRIxN PRIxLEASTN PRIxFASTN PRIxMAX PRIxPTR PRIXN PRIXLEASTN PRIXFASTN PRIXMAX PRIXPTR
The fscanf() macros for signed integers are:
SCNdN SCNdLEASTN SCNdFASTN SCNdMAX SCNdPTR SCNiN SCNiLEASTN SCNiFASTN SCNiMAX SCNiPTR
The fscanf() macros for unsigned integers are:
SCNoN SCNoLEASTN SCNoFASTN SCNoMAX SCNoPTR SCNuN SCNuLEASTN SCNuFASTN SCNuMAX SCNuPTR SCNxN SCNxLEASTN SCNxFASTN SCNxMAX SCNxPTR
For each type that the implementation provides in <stdint.h>, the corresponding fprintf() and fwprintf() macros must be defined. The corresponding fscanf() and fwscanf() macros must be defined as well, unless the implementation does not have a suitable modifier for the type.
The purpose of <inttypes.h> is to provide a set of integer types whose definitions are consistent across machines and independent of operating systems and other implementation idiosyncrasies. It defines, with a typedef, integer types of various sizes. Implementations are free to typedef them as ISO C standard integer types or extensions that they support. Consistent use of this header greatly increases the portability of applications across platforms.
Example 1 Use of Macro
The following code uses one of the macros available through <inttypes.h>.
#include <inttypes.h> #include <wchar.h> int main(void) { uintmax_t i = UINTMAX_MAX; // This type always exists. wprintf("The largest integer value is %020" PRIxMAX, "\en", i); return 0; }
