.It d i \"-a flag as a list item
The int argument is converted to signed decimal notation. The precision, if any, gives the
minimum number of digits that must appear; if the converted value requires fewer digits,
it is padded on the left with zeros.  The default precision is 1.  When 0 is printed with
an explicit precision 0, the output is empty.
.It o, u, x, X
(ell) A following integer conversion corresponds to a long or unsigned long argument,
or a following n conversion corresponds to a pointer to a long argument, or a following
c conversion corresponds to a wint_t argument, or a following s conversion corresponds
to a pointer to wchar_t argument.
.It S
Non printable characters (0 < ASCII value < 32 or >= 127) are printed this way: \x,
followed by the ASCII code value in hexadecimal (upper case - always 2 characters).
.It c
print char.
.It o, u, x, X
(Not in C99 or C11, but in SUSv2, SUSv3, and SUSv4.) Synonym for ls.  Don't use.
.It  %
A '%' is written.  No argument is converted.  The complete conversion specification is '%%'.
