30 .Nd "standard integer types"
36 header provides source-portable integer types of a specific
37 size, smallest memory footprint with a minimum size, fastest
38 access speed with a minimum size, largest integer size, and
39 those capable of storing pointers.
47 provide a signed integer type of width 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits, respectively.
54 provide an unsigned integer type of width 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits, respectively.
55 These integer types should be used when a specific size is required.
63 provide the fastest signed integer type with a width
64 of at least 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits, respectively.
71 provide the fastest unsigned integer type with a width
72 of at least 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits, respectively.
73 These types should be used when access speed is
74 paramount, and when a specific size is not required.
82 provide the smallest memory footprint signed integer type with
83 a width of at least 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits, respectively.
90 provide the smallest memory footprint unsigned integer type with
91 a width of at least 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits, respectively.
92 These types should be used when memory storage is of
93 concern, and when a specific size is not required.
97 provides a signed integer type large
98 enough to hold any other signed integer.
101 provides an unsigned integer type large
102 enough to hold any other unsigned integer.
103 These types are generally the largest signed and unsigned
104 integer types available on a specific architecture.
108 provides a signed integer type with the ability to hold a pointer to
110 that can later be converted back to a pointer to
115 provides an unsigned integer type with the ability to hold a pointer to
117 that can later be converted back to a pointer to
