-			The 'L' modifier indicates the argument is 64 bits.
+			The 'l' modifier indicates the argument is a long

+			depending on your platform.
+			The "ll" modifier indicates the argument is 64 bits.
+			The b and B conversion specifiers never take a width
+			modifier and always assume their argument is a 64 bit
+			integer.
 			Generally, these modifiers are not useful. They are
 			ignored when type is known from the argument.
