For writing portable programs, I recommend to use POSIX:2001

as a reference.

No. No.
There is some similar functionality in gnulib (lib/printf-parse.[hc]), but
it's undocumented. Therefore if you want to use it, you should better make
a copy of it, and not assume that it will be maintained in a
backward-compatible way in gnulib.
