Format specifiers for uint8_t, uint16_t, …?

by

They are declared in <inttypes.h> as macros: SCNd8, SCNd16, SCNd32 and SCNd64.
Example (for int32_t):

sscanf (line, "Value of integer: %" SCNd32 "\n", &my_integer);

Their format is PRI (for printf)/SCN (for scan) then o, u, x, X d, i for the corresponding specifier then nothing, LEAST, FAST, MAX then the size (obviously there is no size for MAX). Some other examples: PRIo8, PRIuMAX, SCNoFAST16.

Edit: BTW a related question asked why that method was used. You may find the answers interesting.
