Here is a table that summarizes the various conversion specifications:

%s
l
modifier
determines whether the output is stored as a wide character string or a
multibyte string. If %s
is used in a wide character function the
string is converted as with multiple calls to wcrtomb
into a
multibyte string. This means that the buffer must provide room for
MB_CUR_MAX
bytes for each wide character read. In case
%ls
is used in a multibyte function the result is converted into
wide characters as with multiple calls of mbrtowc
before being
stored in the user provided buffer.
%S
%ls
which is supported for compatibility
with the Unix standard.
%[
l
modifier
determines whether the output is stored as a wide character string or a
multibyte string. If %[
is used in a wide character function the
string is converted as with multiple calls to wcrtomb
into a
multibyte string. This means that the buffer must provide room for
MB_CUR_MAX
bytes for each wide character read. In case
%l[
is used in a multibyte function the result is converted into
wide characters as with multiple calls of mbrtowc
before being
stored in the user provided buffer.
%c
%c
is used in a wide stream function the read value is
converted from a wide character to the corresponding multibyte character
before storing it. Note that this conversion can produce more than one
byte of output and therefore the provided buffer be large enough for up
to MB_CUR_MAX
bytes for each character. If %lc
is used in
a multibyte function the input is treated as a multibyte sequence (and
not bytes) and the result is converted as with calls to mbrtowc
.
%C
%lc
which is supported for compatibility
with the Unix standard.
%p
%p
output conversion for printf
. See Other Input
Conversions.
%n
%%
%
character in the input stream. No
corresponding argument is used. See Other Input Conversions.
