Let me do this right:
  d   pointer to int   (decimal)
  D   pointer to long  (decimal)
  o   pointer to int   (octal)
  O   pointer to long  (octal)
  i   pointer to int   (decimal, octal or hexadecimal)
  I   pointer to int   (decimal, octal or hexadecimal)
  u   pointer to uint  (decimal)
  U   pointer to ulong (decimal)
  x   pointer to int   (hex)
  X   pointer to int   (hex) - Is this a documentation defect?  Or real?
  e,E pointer to float
  f   pointer to float
  g,G pointer to float

If you want a jpg of the scanf documentation page, I'll put it on my
web site (high res ...)
