Thanks. I find the documentation confusing:
> @item d
> -Print as integer in signed decimal.
> +Regard the bits of the value as an integer, and print the integer in
> +decimal.
What does it mean to "regard the bits of the value as an integer" when
the actual value is not an integer, but, say, a C 'double'? I don't
think I understand what to expect from that, by just reading this
description. Would it be possible to have a more clear text?
