About the format type specifiers

1. The type of 'ngx_msec_int_t', from the source code, It's defined like this:

typedef ngx_int_t   ngx_rbtree_key_int_t;
typedef ngx_rbtree_key_int_t  ngx_msec_int_t;

So It should be an ngx_int_t.

In the file of ngx_http_log_module.c, It appears like this:

static u_char *
ngx_http_log_request_time(ngx_http_request_t *r, u_char *buf,
    ngx_http_log_op_t *op)
{
    ngx_time_t      *tp;
    ngx_msec_int_t   ms;

    tp = ngx_timeofday();

    ms = (ngx_msec_int_t)
             ((tp->sec - r->start_sec) * 1000 + (tp->msec - r->start_msec));
    ms = ngx_max(ms, 0);

    return ngx_sprintf(buf, "%T.%03M", ms / 1000, ms % 1000);
}


2. The type of '' ngx_gid_t" and "ngx_uid_t", from the source code.
They are defined like this:

 typedef uid_t  ngx_uid_t;
 typedef gid_t  ngx_gid_t;

And I googled [1][2] about the types of uid_t and gid_t and They seem
to unsigned integer.

In the file of ngx_process_cycle.c, it appears like this:

    if (geteuid() == 0) {
        if (setgid(ccf->group) == -1) {
            ngx_log_error(NGX_LOG_EMERG, cycle->log, ngx_errno,
                          "setgid(%d) failed", ccf->group);
            /* fatal */
            exit(2);
        }

        if (initgroups(ccf->username, ccf->group) == -1) {
            ngx_log_error(NGX_LOG_EMERG, cycle->log, ngx_errno,
                          "initgroups(%s, %d) failed",
                          ccf->username, ccf->group);
        }

        if (setuid(ccf->user) == -1) {
            ngx_log_error(NGX_LOG_EMERG, cycle->log, ngx_errno,
                          "setuid(%d) failed", ccf->user);
            /* fatal */
            exit(2);
        }
    }

I want to know the correct format specifiers with ngx_msec_int_t,
uid_t and gid_t. I'm a little confused with above codes.

Thanks.
