A signed integer type
of a fixed width of exactly N bits,
N being the value specified in its type name.
According to the C language standard, they shall be
capable of storing values in the range
.RB [ INT N _MIN ,
.BR INT N _MAX ],
substituting N by the appropriate number.

According to POSIX,
.IR int8_t ", " int16_t
and
.I int32_t
are required;
.I int64_t
is only required in implementations that provide integer types
with width 64;
and all other types of this form are optional.
.PP
The length modifiers for the
.IR int N _t
types for the
.BR printf (3)
family of functions
are expanded by macros of the forms
.BR PRId N
and
.BR PRIi N
(defined in
.IR <inttypes.h> );
resulting for example in
.B %"PRId64"
or
.B %"PRIi64"
for printing
.I int64_t
values.
The length modifiers for the
.IR int N _t
types for the
.BR scanf (3)
family of functions
are expanded by macros of the forms
.BR SCNd N
and
.BR SCNi N,
(defined in
.IR <inttypes.h> );
resulting for example in
.B %"SCNd8"
or
.B %"SCNi8"
for scanning
.I int8_t
values.

Conforming to: C99 and later; POSIX.1-2001 and later.
