Include:
.IR <stdint.h> .
Alternatively,
.IR <inttypes.h> .
.PP
An unsigned integer type
capable of representing any value of any unsigned integer type
supported by the implementation.
According to the C language standard, it shall be
capable of storing values in the range [0,
.BR UINTMAX_MAX ].
.PP
The macro
.B UINTMAX_C
.\" TODO: Document UINT*_C(3)
expands its argument to an integer constant of type
.IR uintmax_t .
.PP
The length modifier for
.I uintmax_t
for the
.BR printf (3)
and the
.BR scanf (3)
families of functions is
.BR j ;
resulting commonly in
.B %ju
or
.B %jx
for printing
.I uintmax_t
values.
.PP
Bugs:
.I uintmax_t
is not large enough to represent values of type
.I unsigned __int128
in implementations where
.I unsigned __int128
is defined and
.I unsigned long long
is less than 128 bits wide.
.PP
Conforming to: C99 and later; POSIX.1-2001 and later.
.PP

.I intmax_t
