@@ -73,17 +73,18 @@ The size modifier field is used only when scanning a substring into
one of Tcl's integer values. The size modifier field dictates the
integer range acceptable to be stored in a variable, or, for the inline
case, in a position in the result list.
-The syntactically valid values for the size modifier are \fBh\fR, \fBL\fR,
-\fBl\fR, \fBz\fR, \fBt\fR, and \fBll\fR. The \fBh\fR size
-modifier value is equivalent
-to the absence of a size modifier in the the conversion specifier.
-Either one indicates the integer range to be stored is limited to
-the 32-bit range.
-The \fBL\fR size modifier is equivalent to the \fBll\fR size
-modifier. Either one indicates the integer range to be stored is unlimited.
-The \fBl\fR (or \fBq\fR or \fBj\fR) size modifier indicates that the integer
-range to be stored is limited to the same range produced by the
-\fBwide()\fR function of the \fBexpr\fR command.
