>Description:

printf(3) man page says that "ll" prefix in a format string is for quad_t.
but it should say for "long long", because
- theoretically "long long" may be different from 64bit integer, although
  currently it's always 64bit on any NetBSD platforms.
- "q" prefix is a BSD extention, and not portable.
  on the other hand, "ll" is defined in C99 standard.

>How-To-Repeat:
man 3 printf

>Fix:

- add independent entry for "ll", and describe it as for "long long"
- it may better to discourage using "q" prefix, since it isn't portable.
  or, at least the man page should mention that "q" is a BSD extension.
