-.SH NAME
-size_t, ssize_t \- count of bytes
-.SH LIBRARY
-Standard C library
-.RI ( libc )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <stddef.h>
-.P
-.BR typedef " /* ... */ " size_t;
-.P
-.B #include <sys/types.h>
-.P
-.BR typedef " /* ... */ " ssize_t;

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.TP
-.I size_t
-Used for a count of bytes.
-It is the result of the
-.IR sizeof ()
-operator.
-It is an unsigned integer type
-capable of storing values in the range
-.RB [ 0 ,
-.BR SIZE_MAX ].
-.TP
-.I ssize_t
-Used for a count of bytes or an error indication.
-It is a signed integer type
-capable of storing values at least in the range
-.RB [ \-1 ,
-.BR SSIZE_MAX ].
-.SS Use with printf(3) and scanf(3)
-.TP
-.I size_t
-The length modifier for
-.I size_t
-for the
-.BR printf (3)
-and the
-.BR scanf (3)
-families of functions is
-.BR z ,
-resulting commonly in
-.B %zu
-or
-.B %zx
-for printing
-.I size_t
-values.
-.TP
-.I ssize_t
-glibc and most other implementations provide a length modifier for
-.I ssize_t
-for the
-.BR printf (3)
-and the
-.BR scanf (3)
-families of functions,
-which is
-.BR z ;
-resulting commonly in
-.B %zd
-or
-.B %zi
-for printing
-.I ssize_t
-values.
-Although
-.B z
-works for
-.I ssize_t
-on most implementations,
-portable POSIX programs should avoid using it\[em]for example,
-by converting the value to
-.I intmax_t
-and using its length modifier
-.RB ( j ).
