Currenly the man page for *printf family is difficult to read with
regards to float, double and long double printing. The man page for
*scanf family is much clearer. AFAIK there is a confusion with an old
C89 behavior, since C99 the actual way to print a double is "lf" and
"llf" for long double.
Right now it reads as:
l (ell) A following integer conversion corresponds to a
long int or unsigned long int argument, or a following n conversion
corresponds to a pointer to a long int argument, or a following c
conversion corresponds to a wint_t argument, or a
following s conversion corresponds to a pointer to wchar_t argument.
Accordingly 'll' and 'L' may need to be updated.
