<p>This section describes the <code>scanf</code> conversions for reading numeric
values.
</p>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>%d</samp>&rsquo; conversion matches an optionally signed integer in decimal
radix.
</p>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>%i</samp>&rsquo; conversion matches an optionally signed integer in any of
the formats that the C language defines for specifying an integer
constant.
</p>
<p>For example, any of the strings &lsquo;<samp>10</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>0xa</samp>&rsquo;, or &lsquo;<samp>012</samp>&rsquo;
could be read in as integers under the &lsquo;<samp>%i</samp>&rsquo; conversion.  Each of
these specifies a number with decimal value <code>10</code>.
</p>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>%o</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>%u</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>%x</samp>&rsquo; conversions match unsigned
integers in octal, decimal, and hexadecimal radices, respectively.
</p>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>%X</samp>&rsquo; conversion is identical to the &lsquo;<samp>%x</samp>&rsquo; conversion.  They
both permit either uppercase or lowercase letters to be used as digits.
</p>
<p>By default, integers are read as 32-bit quantities.  With the &lsquo;<samp>h</samp>&rsquo;
modifier, 16-bit integers are used, and with the &lsquo;<samp>l</samp>&rsquo; modifier,
64-bit integers are used.
</p>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>%e</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>%f</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>%g</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>%E</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>%G</samp>&rsquo; conversions
match optionally signed floating-point numbers.  All five conversion
specifications behave identically, and will read in numerical values of
any floating point display style.
