size_t

type
<ctime>

Unsigned integral type

size_t corresponds to the integral data type returned by the language operator sizeof and is defined in the <ctime> header file (among others) as an unsigned integral type.

In <ctime>, it is used in the function strftime as the type of its parameter maxsize and as its return value. In both cases it used to express counts of characters.
