TYPES(5)                  NetBSD File Formats Manual                  TYPES(5)

NAME
     types -- system data types

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>

DESCRIPTION
     The file <sys/types.h> contains the defined data types used in the kernel
     (most are used throughout the system).

     Note that in NetBSD code, when an integer of a specific width is needed,
     the C99 style int8_t, uint8_t, int16_t, uint16_t, int32_t, uint32_t,
     int64_t, uint64_t should be used.  The old BSD style u_int8_t, u_int16_t,
     u_int32_t, u_int64_t are deprecated.
