intN_t are signed integer types of a fixed width of exactly N
bits, N being the value specified in its type name. They are be
capable of storing values in the range [INTN_MIN, INTN_MAX],
substituting N by the appropriate number.
uintN_t are unsigned integer types of a fixed width of exactly N
bits, N being the value specified in its type name. They are
capable of storing values in the range [0, UINTN_MAX],
substituting N by the appropriate number.
According to POSIX, [u]int8_t, [u]int16_t, and [u]int32_t are
required; [u]int64_t are only required in implementations that
provide integer types with width 64; and all other types of this
form are optional.
The macros [U]INTN_WIDTH expand to the width in bits of these
types (N).
The macros [U]INTN_MAX expand to the maximum value that these
types can hold.
The macros INTN_MIN expand to the minimum value that these types
can hold.
The macros [U]INTN_C() expand their argument to an integer
constant of type [u]intN_t.
The length modifiers for the [u]intN_t types for the printf(3)
family of functions are expanded by macros of the forms PRIdN,
PRIiN, PRIuN, and PRIxN (defined in <inttypes.h>); resulting for
example in %"PRId64" or %"PRIi64" for printing int64_t values.
The length modifiers for the [u]intN_t types for the scanf(3)
family of functions are expanded by macros of the forms SCNdN,
SCNiN, SCNuN, and SCNxN, (defined in <inttypes.h>); resulting for
example in %"SCNu8" or %"SCNx8" for scanning uint8_t values.
C11, POSIX.1-2008.
C99, POSIX.1-2001.
The [U]INTN_WIDTH macros were added in C23.
The following header also provides these types: <inttypes.h>.
<arpa/inet.h> also provides uint16_t and uint32_t.
intmax_t(3type), intptr_t(3type), printf(3)
