9.2.1.1 Integers

Integers are used for numeric parameter values and may be specified in base 10 (decimal), or base 16 (hexadecimal). They are therefore composed only of characters ‘0’ through ‘9’, ‘A’ through ‘F’ (case insensitive) with an ‘X’ being used to identify hexadecimal values. To allow for negative decimal values, a leading ‘-’ character is supported.

Examples:
  • 99 – A value of ninety-nine.
  • -128 – A value of negative one hundred and twenty-eight.
  • 0x1000 – A value of 4096.

Positive integers are limited from 0 to 4,294,967,295 (in other words, 32 bits) Negative integers are limited from -1 to -2,147,483,648.
