The platform dependent length modifier for conversion specifiers for scanning and printing values of type int16 or uint16.
It is a string literal, but doesn't include the percent-sign, such that you can add precision and length modifiers between percent-sign and conversion specifier and append a conversion specifier.
The following example prints "0x7b";
gint16 value = 123;
g_print ("%#" G_GINT16_MODIFIER "x", value);
