7.8 Format conversion of integer types <inttypes.h>

• 7.8.1 Macros for format specifiers
• 7.8.2 Functions for greatest-width integer types
  • 7.8.2.1 The imaxabs function
  • 7.8.2.2 The imaxdiv function
  • 7.8.2.3 The strtoimax and strtoumax functions
  • 7.8.2.4 The wcstoimax and wcstoumax functions

1

The header <inttypes.h> includes the header <stdint.h> and extends it with additional facilities provided by hosted implementations.

2

It declares functions for manipulating greatest-width integers and converting numeric character strings to greatest-width integers, and it declares the type

imaxdiv_t

which is a structure type that is the type of the value returned by the imaxdiv function. For each type declared in <stdint.h>, it defines corresponding macros for conversion specifiers for use with the formatted input/output functions.[1]
