It's "%zu", since size_t is an unsigned type.  "%zd" is likely to work
for reasonable values (it's vanishingly unlikely that the size of this
particular struct would be that big).

If your implementation doesn't support "%zu", you can use "%lu" and cast
the value to unsigned long, which will work as long as the value doesn't
exceed ULONG_MAX.
