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, and \fBll\fR. The \fBh\fR size modifier value is equivalent
+\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). The \fBL\fR size modifier is equivalent to the \fBl\fR size
-modifier. Either one indicates the integer range to be stored is
+array). The \fBL\fR, \fBq\fR or \fBj\fR size modifiers are equivalent to the
+\fBl\fR size modifier. Either of them indicates the integer range to be stored is
limited to the same range produced by the \fBwide()\fR function of
the \fBexpr\fR command. The \fBll\fR size modifier indicates that
the integer range to be stored is unlimited.
