a conversion is wider than the field width, the field

The 'h' modifier indicates the argument is 16 bits.
- The 'l' modifier indicates the argument is 32 bits.
- The 'L' modifier indicates the argument is 64 bits.
+ The 'l' modifier indicates the argument is a long
+ integer. The size will be 32 bits or 64 bits
+ depending on your platform.
+ The "ll" modifier indicates the argument is 64 bits.
+ The b and B conversion specifiers never take a width
+ modifier and always assume their argument is a 64 bit
+ integer.
Generally, these modifiers are not useful. They are
ignored when type is known from the argument.
