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 range -determined by the value of the \fBwordSize\fR element of the \fBtcl_platform\fR -array).
