.SH NOTES
The structures described in this manual page shall contain,
at least, the members shown in their definition, in no particular order.
.P
Most of the integer types described in this page don't have
a corresponding length modifier for the
.BR printf (3)
and the
.BR scanf (3)
families of functions.
To print a value of an integer type that doesn't have a length modifier,
it should be converted to
.I intmax_t
or
.I uintmax_t
by an explicit cast.
To scan into a variable of an integer type
that doesn't have a length modifier,
an intermediate temporary variable of type
.I intmax_t
or
.I uintmax_t
should be used.
When copying from the temporary variable to the destination variable,
the value could overflow.
If the type has upper and lower limits,
the user should check that the value is within those limits,
before actually copying the value.
The example below shows how these conversions should be done.
.SS Conventions used in this page
In "Conforming to" we only concern ourselves with
C99 and later and POSIX.1-2001 and later.
Some types may be specified in earlier versions of one of these standards,
but in the interests of simplicity we omit details from earlier standards.
.P
In "Include", we first note the "primary" header(s) that
define the type according to either the C or POSIX.1 standards.
Under "Alternatively", we note additional headers that
the standards specify shall define the type.
.SH EXAMPLES
The program shown below scans from a string and prints a value stored in
a variable of an integer type that doesn't have a length modifier.
The appropriate conversions from and to
.IR intmax_t ,
and the appropriate range checks,
are used as explained in the notes section above.

#include <stdio.h>

#include <sys/types.h>

main (void)

suseconds_t us;
intmax_t tmp;

/* Scan the number from the string into the temporary variable. */
\&

\&
/* Check that the value is within the valid range of suseconds_t. */

exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
\&
/* Copy the value to the suseconds_t variable \[aq]us\[aq]. */
\&
us = tmp;
\&
/* Even though suseconds_t can hold the value \-1, this isn\[aq]t
a sensible number of microseconds. */

fprintf(stderr, "Scanned value shouldn\[aq]t be negative!\en");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

/* Print the value. */
