DESCRIPTION

structs_type_char

For values of type char.

structs_type_uchar

For values of type u_char.

structs_type_hchar

For values of type u_char expressed as hexadecimal.

structs_type_short

For values of type short.

structs_type_ushort

For values of type u_short.

structs_type_hshort

For values of type u_short expressed as hexadecimal.

structs_type_int

For values of type int.

structs_type_uint

For values of type u_int.

structs_type_hint

For values of type u_int expressed as hexadecimal.

structs_type_long

For values of type long.

structs_type_ulong

For values of type u_long.

structs_type_hlong

For values of type u_long expressed as hexadecimal.

structs_type_int8

For values of type int8_t.

structs_type_uint8

For values of type u_int8_t.

structs_type_hint8

For values of type u_int8_t expressed as hexadecimal.

structs_type_int16

For values of type int16_t.

structs_type_uint16

For values of type u_int16_t.

structs_type_hint16

For values of type u_int16_t expressed as hexadecimal.

structs_type_int32

For values of type int32_t.

structs_type_uint32

For values of type u_int32_t.

structs_type_hint32

For values of type u_int32_t expressed as hexadecimal.

structs_type_int64

For values of type int64_t.

structs_type_uint64

For values of type u_int64_t.

structs_type_hint64

For values of type u_int64_t expressed as hexadecimal.

Note: the “short”, “int”, and “long” variants have sizes that are machine dependent, because they represent primitive types whose sizes are machine dependent. Therefore, the binary encodings of these types are also machine dependent (although they are independent of byte-order).

To ensure machine independence in binary encodings, use the fixed-size “8”, “16”, “32”, and “64” variants.
