Eric Lemings updated STDCXX-871:

No. They are called directives (specifiers are some of the letters
used in the directives). Please change it back and read the sprintf
spec either in C99 on in POSIX:

    Description: The {{rw_printf()}} family of functions (declared in the 
[{{<rw_printf.h>}}|http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/stdcxx/trunk/tests/include/rw_printf.h]
 header) extend the similar C99 functions by a number of formatting specifiers for various 
C++ types. Only a few of these are documented, making the functions hard to use. 
Documentation for the remaining specifiers needs to be added.  (was: The {{rw_printf()}}

        Summary: document rw_printf() formatting/conversion specifiers  (was: 
document rw_printf() directives)

I think they're technically referred to as formatting or conversion specifiers.  
"Directives" implies preprocessing directives.
